Wairarapa is a region of big skies, wide valleys and small towns, all full of charm and character. With three major forest parks and a wild stretch of coast it offers endless possibilities for outdoor adventures or just getting away from it all.

It’s also one of New Zealand’s top food and wine destinations offering some of the country’s premium wines and everything from country cooking to fine cuisine in the many cafes, small vineyards and quality restaurants. All within an easy hour’s drive of Wellington, the Capital City.
