Exceptional wineries, award-winning ciders

And the oldest independent brewery in New Zealand. The land of the first light is a thirst-quenching region to appease even the most refined taste buds.

From golden lagers to exquisite chardonnay, ginger beer and biodynamic wines, there’s a great variety of homegrown beverages to enjoy and experience here.

Go straight from the beach to the brewery around the block or direct from a rail bike excursion to the vineyards – make sure to savour the fine flavours of Tairāwhiti in each and every sip.
