Enjoy an exclusive rural New Zealand experience featuring Hawke's Bay Pinot wines and pecorino cheese -- a match made in heaven -- or in the majestic Tuki Tuki Valley.
Head south through Clive to the famous Tuki Tuki Valley and the Craggy Range Sheep Dairy Farm. Meet Kate and James -- your hosts for the day -- at their sheep milking shed. They will talk about the pivot that brought them from corporate Auckland to sunny Hawke's Bay to start a sheep dairy farm. Learn about the unique history and composition of sheep cheese, hang out with animals, and enjoy a behind-the-scenes peek into an innovative agri-business.
Up at the homestead, take in breathtaking views of Craggy Range and the back face of Te Mata Peak and sample award-winning sheep cheeses that are supplied to some of New Zealand's finest restaurants. A cheese and wine pairing includes the famous manchego and pecorino cheeses, among others.
Then, hit the road for the scenic drive back to Napier and the pier.
