The Bay of Islands Walking Weekend
Omata Estate Vineyard - Walk 5

Omata Estate is a boutique vineyard situated in a stunning location on a sheltered hilltop with wonderful views across the vines to the bay. Their lovely old wooden hexagonal restaurant, brick paths, terraced and sunny garden are reminiscent of an old French vineyard, which creates a perfect atmosphere to sit back, relax and enjoy a glass of wine with a gourmet platter or delicious woodfired pizza.

There are two Omata Vineyard Walks to choose from. Both include wine tasting and beautiful food.
Each wine tasting goes through 5 different varietals of wine all grown on the property.

Friday afternoon/evening we have a walk that takes you to the vineyard for wine tasting and delicious woodfired homemade pizza!

Saturday walk to the vineyard for a daytime experience of wine tasting and sumptuous platters! It’s a hard choice!!

This is a walk for those who like a small reward at the end - a few glasses of wine and some good food in a perfect setting!

Gather at the Russell Bowling Club for what is normally a very light hearted walk.

Head through the township, past some significant heritage buildings, then up ‘that hill’ which signifies the real start of the walk. From there it is an easy pleasant walk down to sea level and through the stunning mangrove boardwalk, stopping briefly to learn about the fascinating history of Tikitikioure and its mining heritage. The stories of manual labour hardship and a hillside village that was, at its time, larger than Russell township. (Russell was not all about whalers and wenches!)

Walkers carry on, thankful that we live in a day and age where manually chipping away at the mineshaft is behind us, and stroll around Orongo Bay taking in the extensive oyster farm operations. One more steep climb up and over, through well-established native bush. Plenty of bird life and a rather cheery atmosphere to keep you well entertained, but still, your glass of wine will be well appreciated.

Your destination is the beautiful grounds of Omata Estate where you will be warmly welcomed. There is nothing more rewarding than doing some good old fashioned exercise before settling down to a glass of wine and some beautiful food.
