<\/a>Firstly, I would recommend situating yourself in the most vibrant town in Hawke\u2019s Bay, Napier<\/a>. A coastal city that has kept its intimate charm and old-town appeal transforms from a tourist\u2019s favourite summer vacation destination into a winter wonderland during the colder part of the year.

A six-hour event entailing tours of four Napier wineries<\/a>, professional guidance through the vast assortment of white and red vintages, and a chef\u2019s platter lunch create a unique and rewarding experience of taste, aroma, warmth and intimacy. If you decide on this mouth-watering feast, make sure to get some proper rest before continuing your journey.<\/p>\n Open year-round to visitors from all over the world is a modern museum called Birdwoods<\/a>, built on the grounds of the original church hall from St Peter’s in Waipawa built in 1894.
