Calling all gourmands (and those who just can't resist sampling local delights)! Sip and savor the bounty of the land when you travel Hawke's Bay's picturesque landscapes for an insider's glimpse into the daily operations of the Craggy Range Sheep Dairy. Meet owners Kate and James Clairmont and learn how the sheep milk is made into pecorino, a Spanish-style cheese called Manchego, as well as haloumi, feta and more. Hear tales of the artisan sheep cheese industry and their journey from the corporate world to the dairy farm. See the inner workings of the business, meet the adorable sheep, then head over to the homestead. Take in panoramic vistas of the Craggy Range and the back face of Te Mata Peak while nibbling a selection of award-winning sheep cheeses, cherished by New Zealand's most esteemed restaurants. Savor each bite while sipping a fine vintage from New Zealand's greatest wine region.
