Great Taste Trail Snapshot

Day One, cycle 26 km through scenic coastal wetlands from Nelson Airport to Mapua. On the way visit cafes, taste cheeses at the gourmet shop, visit art glass blowing studio, indulge in real berry fruit ice-creams, swim at a pristine white sand beach, perhaps a wine-tasting & lunch at Nelson’s oldest established vineyard estate. Overnight at a B&B at the seaside township of Mapua. Day 2 cycle 42km through vineyard country in the rolling Moutere hills, taste the wines of the Moutere clay soil, savour the bounty of the area's fruit & nut orchards and sense the history over a refreshing beer at the oldest pub in New Zealand. There's just time for a swim in the sparkling azure waters at Kaiteriteri before we transfer you back to Nelson.
