A Heart for Community:
Connect with the heart and soul of a vibrant community. Whether you're meeting friendly locals, encountering heirloom cultures, engaging with Native peoples, exploring hidden corners, or discovering beloved eateries, let lasting memories begin with warmth, hospitality, and genuine connection.
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 manchego and pecorino cheeses, among others.
Then, hit the road for the scenic drive back to Napier and the pier.
