Care for a wine with your walk?

Combine great wine and exceptional cuisine with your walking experience. Ultimate Hikes offers the whole package outdoors and in!

Combine great wine and exceptional cuisine with your walking experience in the magnificent National Parks of the South Island.  Ultimate Hikes, operators of multi day guided walks on the Milford and Routeburn Tracks, know how a good walk can affect the appetite. 

When you arrive at one of our lodges after an exhilarating day on the track, you are greeted with an afternoon snack made specifically by the lodge staff depending on their speciality, and following your hot shower, in your dry comfy attire, the lodge bar is open serving a range of New Zealand wines, beer or a refreshing soft drink, before sitting down to a three course meal of fresh New Zealand produce.

You’re in great company, in the warm atmosphere you’ve come to expect from kiwi hospitality providers. And what’s more you are in the heart of New Zealand’s renowned unspoilt and majestic landscape.  It doesn’t get much better than this!

Choose an Otago Pinot Noir to accompany your lamb, or a crisp Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc  to perfectly complement  the fresh fish.  Relive your day with your guides and fellow walkers, and discuss the rigours that will whet your appetite  tomorrow.  You’ll go to bed satisfied, and wake to a hot breakfast, create your own lunch from a smorgasbord of sandwich fillings and be off again, knowing that the tasty Pinot of the night before awaits you at the end of another awesome day on one of New Zealand’s Great Walks.  Blissful.
