Taranaki Taste and Tales

Join us on a trail around some of Taranaki's top food producers. Taste their produce, enjoy their tales and get a behind-the-scenes look at how they operate. Celebrate the variety of food and beverage products produced in Taranaki and enjoy the delicious flavours with a taste at each location.

We have eight trails to choose from and because most of our producers are boutique, we have a maximum group size of 12 at each location. This means our trail goers get a unique and personal opportunity to chat with each owner-operator as they tell their stories and tales.

How does it work?
Trail goers first choose the trail they wish to go on, then they purchase a ticket which provides a seat on one of the minibuses for that trail. If you have a group of friends you'd like to participate with, you can purchase seats together, or purchase the whole 10 tickets for the minibus!

You will then be driven to each of the producers on that trail, so you are free to sit back, relax and enjoy the food tastings and beverages on offer. There will also be an opportunity at most locations to purchase their product, so you can take a little more home to enjoy. There will be approximately four minibuses on each trail, starting at different points to ensure we keep the groups small at each location.
