A fresh twist on traditional Wine tasting

Our Urban Wine Tour offers a fresh twist on traditional wine tasting, taking you beyond the vines and into the heart of our cities. This special experience introduces you to boutique, city-based cellar doors where creativity, craft, and bold winemaking come to life in unexpected places.

Includes an exclusive experience inside the Heretaunga Studio at award-winning Smith & Sheth. This beautifully curated wine journey invites you to experience wine through all your senses in a thoughtful, intimate environment. Every detail is intentional, every pour personal. Imagine fine wine, beautiful design, with immersive storytelling. Plus, we get to taste wine straight from the barrels.

After Smith & Sheth, we'll visit a second Urban Winery where creativity, craft, and bold winemaking come to life in unexpected ways...

This is wine tasting reimagined — stylish, intimate, and full of surprises. This is Hawke's Bay Wine Country with a twist.

Not just another tour...
