New Zealand's wine country. Art Deco Napier. The world's largest mainland gannet colony. A region that rewards those who look a little deeper.
Hawke's Bay is New Zealand's second-largest wine region and arguably its most celebrated — a landscape of volcanic soils, sun-drenched plains, and vine-covered hillsides that produces world-class Syrah, Chardonnay, and Bordeaux blends.
The twin cities of Napier and Hastings offer a unique cultural counterpoint — Napier rebuilt after a devastating 1931 earthquake into one of the world's most complete Art Deco streetscapes, now recognised internationally as a heritage destination in its own right.
Then there is Cape Kidnappers — a dramatic limestone headland that hosts the world's largest accessible mainland gannet colony, reached by private 4WD through a working farm with the Pacific Ocean as backdrop.
Hawke's Bay rewards private access. We open cellar doors after hours, arrange vineyard picnics on estate lawns, and provide access to the Cape Kidnappers gannet colony at times that public tours cannot offer.
Exclusive access to Hawke's Bay's most celebrated wineries -- from Craggy Range to Black Barn -- with hosted tastings and vineyard lunches unavailable to the public.
Private 4WD access across Te Awanga Station to the world's largest accessible mainland gannet colony -- 6,500 birds on a dramatic Pacific clifftop.
A guided private walking tour of Napier's extraordinary Art Deco streetscape with an architectural historian -- one of the world's finest collections of 1930s architecture.
Private dining experience at one of NZ's finest estate restaurants, paired with library vintages and matched by a personal sommelier.
Private guided e-bike tour through the Bay's vineyard trails -- stopping at hand-picked producers for tastings and artisan food along the way.
Arrive in style -- a scenic helicopter flight over the Havelock North hills and Hawke's Bay coastline, landing at an exclusive vineyard for a private lunch.
