The Urban Wine Tour - Hawke's Bay
Our Urban Wine Tour offers a fresh twist on traditional wine tasting, taking you beyond the vines and into the heart of the city. This special experience introduces you to boutique, city-based cellar doors where creativity, craft, and bold winemaking come to life in unexpected places.
You’ll enjoy guided tastings of premium local wines in stylish, intimate settings. Each stop reveals a new story, flavour, or winemaking philosophy, often in beautifully restored historic buildings or contemporary urban spaces.
This experience features an exclusive visit and tasting in the Heretaunga Studio at award-winning Smith & Shet in Havelock North. Their stylish tastings offer premium wines from both Smith & Sheth and Pyramid Valley, paired with stories that bring the wines to life.
The Urban Wine Tour is not your average wine tour. It’s wine tasting reimagined — stylish, intimate, and full of surprises. From tucked-away gems to award-winning favourites, this is wine country with a twist.
