SOBER SUNSHINE TOUR

Bask in the golden glow of Nelson Tasman on our brand-new Sober Sunshine Tour — a refreshing, alcohol-free day designed for those who want to soak up the region’s natural beauty, indulge in premium local flavours, and enjoy a clear-headed adventure under the sun.

Start your day with a fun, sensory-rich visit to Pic’s Peanut Butter World in Nelson. Smell the freshly roasted peanuts, watch the iconic factory in action, and enjoy generous tastings of New Zealand’s best-loved peanut butter. Pick up a jar (or two) and some fun merch to take home.

Next, head to The Junction Cheese Shop in Appleby for a delicious cheese-tasting experience. Sample award-winning local and artisan cheeses from the Nelson-Tasman region, paired with other gourmet treats from small producers. Our knowledgeable guides will help you discover hidden favourites and build the perfect platter.

Continue to charming Mapua Wharf, where you’ll wander among galleries and studios showcasing vibrant local art. Browse sculptures, paintings, jewellery, and unique NZ-made pieces in this picturesque waterfront setting — a perfect spot for photos and a relaxed creative vibe.

Recharge with a relaxed lunch at one of Tasman Bay’s most iconic restaurants, where fresh, seasonal ingredients and stunning views of the bay create an unforgettable dining experience.

Cap off your day with a gentle short walk at beautiful Kaiteriteri Beach in the Abel Tasman area. Stroll along the golden sands, breathe in the fresh sea air, and enjoy the turquoise waters and native bush — the ideal way to stretch your legs and absorb the sunshine before heading home relaxed and rejuvenated.

The Sober Sunshine Tour is perfect for families, wellness seekers, designated drivers, or anyone wanting a vibrant, feel-good day exploring Nelson Tasman’s highlights without the wine. Small groups ensure a personal touch, and all transport, entry fees and tastings are included.
