Things to do in Stoke

Meet the makers at Pic's Peanut Butter World

From humble beginnings making peanut butter in a cement mixer to today’s global success story, Pic’s Peanut Butter is our region's very own international icon. Join in on one of the weekday factory tours with other peanut butter enthusiasts to hear how Pic created this breakfast delicacy using nothing but peanuts, sea salt and a little bit of love. Watch in awe as the peanuts are roasted, churned, crushed, packaged and labelled, ready to be sent out and savoured by peanut butter lovers worldwide. After the tour, the kids can even get involved and have a go at making their own.

Cycle the Monaco Peninsula

With cycle hire available just a few minutes away from the Nelson Airport, this township is a great place to begin your journey along Tasman's Great Taste Trail. The trail will have you weaving past an array of picturesque locations, such as the Monaco Peninsula and the Waimea Inlet, and there are plenty of places for you to stop and enjoy a picnic in the shade.

Visit the Nelson Classic Car Museum

Take a walk down memory lane at the world-renowned Nelson Classic Cars Museum, home to one of Australasia's largest private collections of classic cars. Whilst an extraordinary exhibition of vintage, veteran and classic cars will keep you entertained, the on-site Little Engine Eatery is the perfect place to 'refuel' after all of the excitement.

Taste the local beers at Eddyline

Eddyline Pizzeria & Brewpub is the go-to spot for fantastic craft beer and tasty pizzas. With a relaxed atmosphere, it is perfect for hanging out with friends or family. Their pizzas are cooked in a wood-fired oven directly on the hot stones.

Have fun at Isel Park

The heritage home and woodland at Isel Park is the perfect destination for a short stroll, whilst the disc golf course draws locals from near and far to indulge in some healthy frisbee competition. The Isel Twilight Market is a popular Thursday night activity for locals and visitors alike, running from 4.30 pm until dark, October through to April. With delicious street food, fresh produce, local arts and crafts, and live entertainment, all set amongst a heritage woodland and flourishing gardens, there couldn’t be a more picturesque place to spend a warm summer's night.
