Tour Partners
Zest Food Tour's expert culinary tour partners are all passionate food lovers and down-to-earth New Zealanders. Most own and run their own businesses, and are dedicated to great food experiences and welcoming other foodies. It's personal. You'll get to know and interact with them. You'll taste a piece of this and a handful of that. Hear their stories, in their own special places: at home, in their kitchen or behind the scenes at their store. By invitation only.

Culinary Challenges
Great Taste Challenges
Put your taste buds to the test...what's that flavour? Where did that product come from? Listen to your guide and hosts for answers to culinary quiz questions.
Team Building
Management guru Tom Peters says a kitchen is the best place to learn strategy. Zest says team building is best with some help from some great food and wine, and we'll help you find out how.
Partner Programmes
Tailored food and wine tours in Martinborough, Greytown and Wellington to suit.
Mystery Progressive Lunches
We create a multi-course, multi-location lunch for a fun and delicious group outing. To add that powerful 'wow' factor what about travelling in real style - maybe a classic Cadillac?
Whose Wine is it anyway?
Test your wine palate in a blind tasting with a difference, as your group decides which multiple choice answer best fits the wine you taste. Add beer and other beverages to the test for a real taste challenge, in a light-hearted competitive approach.
