New Zealand is in the throes of a culinary revolution. Globetrotting Kiwis are returning to their homeland and turning the cookbooks of their British forebears upside down, creating their own, innovative cuisine.

Our Experience tours embrace this revolution. We have selected the best dining experiences in each region, with menus that celebrate our unique, Pacific Rim culture and feature fresh, local ingredients.

Lunches occur in a variety of settings, including sumptuous picnic feasts on the beach; charming sidewalk cafes; historic Kiwi taverns; and beautiful, sun-drenched wineries.

Dinners give us the opportunity to laugh and socialize while enjoying some of New Zealand 's best restaurants. Each dinner features off-the-menu dining complemented by  a  tasting selection of fine New Zealand wines.

We provide all meals and snacks for you on an Experience tour, with few exceptions. Those exceptions are outlined in the itineraries and occur so you can explore a variety of excellent local restaurants on your own.

Our Adventurer tours leave you free at lunches and dinners to celebrate your own culinary finds. Each day you can seek to indulge your cravings, be it for fillet mignon or fish-and-chips wrapped in newspaper!

Regardless of which tour style you choose, be it Experience tour or Adventurer tour, you are greeted each morning with your choice of a hearty cooked or continental breakfast before embarking on your day.
