Eastwoodhill Tour with Vineyard Platter

Your four hour journey begins as we depart from Gisborne and travel to the magnificent Eastwoodhill, the National Arboretum of New Zealand. This sprawling 131 hectare sanctuary is a living testament to a collection started in 1910, now home to over 25,000 unique plant specimens. Your expert local guide will introduce you to this world of exotic and native trees, a place that truly comes alive with vibrant color in autumn and spring but offers serene beauty all year round. This is your chance to connect with one of the countrys most significant botanical treasures. Once inside, you have ample time to explore this incredible landscape on foot. Choose your own adventure along the network of walking tracks. Stroll along gentle, tree-lined paths or challenge yourself with a steeper climb that rewards you with glorious panoramic views of the arboretum and the surrounding Gisborne countryside. As you wander, keep an eye out for some of the 40 species of birdlife that call this vast collection home. It is an immersive experience in nature. The perfect conclusion to your day of discovery awaits on our return journey. We will stop at one of Gisbornes celebrated cellar doors for a relaxing finale. Here, you will indulge in a delicious vineyard platter, thoughtfully paired with a tasting of locally produced wines. It is a wonderful way to savor the flavors of the region after a day spent exploring its natural splendor, before we return you to your Gisborne accommodation.
