A true local, I was born and bred in Wellington and grew up on western hills above Petone, a suburb on the northern edge of beautiful Wellington Harbour. After studying at the University of Otago, Dunedin, I lived and travelled throughout Asia where I learned what creates a great adventure holiday experience. Upon my return to Wellington, I founded my own small group tour company to make it easier for tourists to experience the local sights and flavours of the fascinating Wellington region. I have a passion for food, beer and wine and many of my tours focus around the wonderful local producers in the region. I'm also a keen sports fan with a particular obsession with cricket! With extensive local knowledge and experience I'm able to tailor tours to suit each and every guests particular interests and requirements! 10 years as an owner/operator of a local small group tour business Wellington Sustainable Tourism Programme 2021 None

Overview of your Wellington tour

Come and enjoy Wellington's foodie playground in the Wairarapa! Just a short but scenic drive over the Remutaka Ranges from Wellington is the wonderful Wairarapa region. World famous for it's pinot noir producing Martinborough wine region there is also plenty of other foodie delights. From the oldest commercial olive trees in New Zealand to the best cheese shop in the country. Take it all in with restricted behind the scenes access! Come with me for beer and wine tastings and and sample some of other amazing products and meet the incredible people behind them. I've developed close relationships with the local winemakers, olive oil producers, brewers and cheesemakers in the region and who would be delighted to share their passion for their products with you. The experience is topped off by an incredible local vineyard cafe lunch chock full of local product with fresh, amazing flavours!
