Mates Travel
Details
Mates Travel is Hawke's Bay's leading boutique tour and transport operator, specialising in authentic, locally guided wine and food experiences for international visitors. Founded and operated by Jeremy and Katie Lawson, we position ourselves as Hawke's Bay experts in experiences, food and wine — connecting visitors with one of the world's great wine regions, celebrated for its bold, full-bodied reds and exceptional wines from the iconic Gimblett Gravels.
Our tours include wine and food experiences, Art Deco touring, gin distillery visits, Māori cultural experiences developed in partnership with local iwi, and the Te Aratipi Farm Experience. We specialise in small group experiences, ensuring every guest receives a personal, unhurried, and genuinely local encounter with Hawke's Bay and its world-class producers.
Mates Travel offers authentic Hawkes Bay private and group tours designed to help you experience the country like a local. With a focus on small groups, the tours are fun, educational, and personal, sharing Kiwi stories, culture, and lifestyle in a way that creates lasting memories. Rather than rushing through crowded city itineraries, Mates Travel takes you off the beaten track to picturesque locations, where you can immerse yourself in real New Zealand life with trusted local guides.
