Northland Food and Wine Trail Artisan Producers

Northland is a region that will stimulate every sense. Not only is it the birthplace of the nation, where European settlers planted the first grapes, olives and fruit trees, but Northland is also home to giant kauri forests, miles of stunning coastline capped off with iconic Cape Reinga. It is also the only region
in New Zealand where subtropicals thrive, and home to the kumara, the multi-purpose sweet potato. Therefore food and wine are just the icing on the cake!
