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 top Wellington restaurant, Logan
Brown* (2009 Cuisine Magazine NZ Restaurant of the Year Winner). Over a relaxed four and a half
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.
And during the day, your guide can also introduce you to many other aspects of the Capital,
ranging from iconic city architecture, sculptures and fantastic places to shop and eat.
Walking Time: approx 45 minutes, at a casual wandering pace.
"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)
Additional Notes:
* Logan Brown is open for lunch from Tuesdays to Saturdays.
* Coffee Roasting is available during weekdays. For our Saturday bookings, we will still
enjoy some of the great Wellington coffee this foodie capital is renowned for at one of our
favourite cafes.
