We are pleased to offer a special deal for convention participants - a relaxed walking tour to taste Wellington specialities and lunch at the acclaimed Logan Brown restaurant. More information

Zest's flagship Walking Gourmet tour has featured in Australian Gourmet Traveller, UK Guardian and many food and travel publications. Our guests enjoy personal access to top places they usually wouldn't often find by themselves.

The crowning finish is a three-course tasting lunch, with matched wines, at Cuisine magazine's Restaurant of the Year Logan Brown, and a personal welcome from co-owner Steve Logan. You'll taste the restaurant's signature dish - Paua Ravioli with Lime and Basil Beurre Blanc.

This tour normally retails at $230pp - our special offer to the Convention is $175pp, for a minimum of 4 and maximum of 30 guests. Groups are small, up to 10 at a time, visiting the same places on a different schedule, and getting back together for lunch.
