Indulge in a premium, four-hour journey that seamlessly blends world-class viticulture, ancient Māori heritage, and the dramatic landscapes of Hawke's Bay. Operating from our base in Havelock North, we invite you to explore the newest "Great Wine Capital” in the quiet luxury of our zero-emissions electric fleet.

A Journey Through Stars and Soil

Your afternoon begins on the coast at Ātea a Rangi, the Celestial Compass. Here, you will gain a profound appreciation for Mātauranga Māori (Māori knowledge) as you learn how traditional navigators used the stars, sun, and moon to traverse the vast Pacific.

From the coast, we travel toward the iconic hills of the region to visit Te Mata Estate, New Zealand’s oldest family-owned winery. You will enjoy a signature Discovery Tasting in the heart of this historic estate—the home of the famed Coleraine—surrounded by the very vineyards that have defined New Zealand’s wine reputation for over a century.

Village Charm and Urban Elegance

The experience continues in the sophisticated Village Exchange at Smith & Sheth. In the intimate setting of the Heretaunga Wine Studio, you will partake in a curated tasting flight that showcases exceptional wines from across the country’s most distinct growing regions. This is the perfect moment to savour a shared artisanal cheese platter as you discuss the nuances of the "Great Wine Capital" with your expert host.

The Sleeping Giant

We conclude your experience with a breathtaking drive to the summit of Te Mata Peak. Standing 399 metres above sea level, you will take in 360-degree views of the Tukituki Valley and the Pacific Ocean. As you capture the perfect photo, your guide will share the geological and cultural stories of the "Sleeping Giant," providing a final, unforgettable perspective on our region.

Sustainable Luxury

Throughout the day, you will be hosted by local experts dedicated to seamless service. By choosing our fully electric vehicle fleet, you are enjoying a "First Class" experience that prioritises the preservation of the very landscape you have come to admire.
