On our New Zealand tour in March 2024 we’ll enjoy a guided craft beer tour to discover why Wellington is known as the Craft Beer Capital of the country.

Fun fact: Wellingtonians and their guests consume a third of New Zealand's entire craft beer production, so they know their brews.

If you’re seeking a flavorsome insider's experience, then consider joining us on this new itinerary featuring some food and drink gems throughout Aotearoa New Zealand.

Hop on a guided craft beer tour to discover why Wellington is known as the Craft Beer Capital of New Zealand. Fun fact: Wellingtonians and their guests consume a third of New Zealand's entire craft beer production, so they know their brews.

If you clients seek a flavorsome insider's experience, then Wellington Craft Beer Tours knows the capital's best beer spots and stand-out breweries to go behind the scenes in, meet the brewers, hear about what goes into the hoppy goodness, and taste the goods.

Expert tip: It's never far to walk between breweries in Wellington – there are 18 in the compact city, and another 30 in the region. Whistling Sisters, Fortune Favours and Hey Day are all within a kilometer of each other.

Just a 15th-century marble sculpture above the entrance to a Genoa shop selling all things sharp (knives, scissors, razors, nail clippers etc). Logical.

Did you know that with just a smartphone camera you can get shots like these through binoculars? That’s what our safari guide did here in Ruaha National Park in Tanzania. Pretty great.

We’re running a tour here in November 2022. 👍🏻

On our recent Italy tour we returned to one of our favorite restaurants in Parma and its delightful chef Alessandro. Here he’s preparing the “Antica Pasta della Filoma”: a pasta made with four types of flour — farro, wheat, buckwheat, and grano arso (literally burnt flour). The pasta was prepared with culatello ham, cherry tomatoes, almonds, marjoram, and grated ricotta.
Deliziosa!
