personal food tours
Our philosophy
We are passionate about food, wine, cooking and eating !!
We believe that it is through sampling the local food and wine that you get to know a region. While Marlborough is now world renown for its wines, the region also produces some stunning produce many of which is not readily available to visitors. We would like to be able to introduce visitors to the produce and inspiring food producers of the region. We also strongly believe that it is important to know where your food comes from and to eat locally where possible and as a result we are supporters of local producers and their products.
Explore Marlborough – Personal Food Tours
Discover why Marlborough has been named the “Gourmet Province of New Zealand” with our Explore Marlborough Personal Food Tours. Let us introduce you to our local food growers and producers who will delight your taste buds with their products and inspire you with their stories.
“The message is clear – eat seasonal and buy local. Local growers are our life-blood...go forth and stuff yourselves with as much fresh, nutritious food made with love as you can” from “A Cook’s Tour of New Zealand” - Peta Mathias
