A panoramic drive through the Hutt Valley and over the Remutaka Ranges brings you to Greytown (1854) -- home to excellent examples of Victorian colonial architecture. In fact, Greytown's main street is New Zealand's most complete stretch of wooden Victorian buildings.
Here, a wide choice of cafés and restaurants serve seasonal menus, local wines, and excellent coffees (at your own expense), and designer boutiques and quirky local stores stock everything from handmade lead soldiers to handbags, jewelry, antiques and art.
Visit the iconic Schoc Chocolate -- an artisan chocolate studio.
Nearby Martinborough features loads of colonial charm and more than 20 wineries. The quaint village square is a fun throwback. Some of New Zealand's best Pinot Noir comes from the town's predominately family-owned vineyards, making it a key stop on the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail. Visit two wineries for a tasting of classic reds and a winery lunch. Pinot Noir and excellent food promise to ease you into a happy state of mind.
