Chef's Taste Trail from Wellington to Cape Palliser - Went on an amazing food and wine tour to the Martinborough region today with Aaron from Kosher Tours. We visited Nga Waka, Schubert and Coneys vineyards for wine tasting and an out of this world culinary experience that my partner a retired chef gave an 11 out of 10. Following our lunch we meandered through farming country along the rugged coastline to Cape Palliser. We were treated to a herd of seals and their young basking in the sun before tackling the 252 steps up to the lighthouse for stunning coastal views.

Varied tour of Wairarapa produce - For me, the highlight was the Olea olive oil visit and tasting. The owner is obviously passionate about his product, and with good reason. The three vineyards produce quite distinct wines despite using the same/similar grapes. The chocolate factory was a little disappointing as it turned out that we could taste the same samples as anyone of the street and there was no explanation of the process.
