Walking Gourmet

Our flagship tour, this mouth-watering culinary experience concludes with a delicious, light, three course tasting lunch with matched New Zealand wines at a top Wellington restaurant or cafe. Over a relaxed 4 hour walking gourmet tour around Wellington's best food places, your personal guide will introduce you to new and favourite flavours. Tour content can vary seasonally, and you may visit a boutique coffee roaster and stylish cafe, renowned specialist fresh produce and gourmet food stores, and a unique contemporary chocolatier.

"Zest food tour was a great adventure. A simple concept well executed, it is an insight into the best food the city has to offer ranging from coffee to chocolate. This was a fine introduction to New Zealand food."

(Sydney Morning Herald travel blog, February 2007)
