Wine
In 1851 French Catholic missionaries established New Zealand's oldest winery, Mission Estate. The vision continues today with over 40 wineries, many of whom have won national and international acclaim. With an average of 2,245 hours of sunshine a year, warm, dry summers and mild winters it is little wonder that Hawke's Bay is one of New Zealand's foremost wine producing regions.
You can drive yourself to vineyards. Or join one of the professional wine tours operated by experienced wine guides and tour operators. Soak up the atmosphere in one of the many cafes and restaurants or dine alfresco amidst the vineyards, orchards and olive plantations. There is often live music to enhance your experience. After lunch, try your hand at the French boules game of Petanque.
