European settlement dates back to the 1840s, but Maori history is much older. Archaeological research has
shown that parts of the Wairarapa coast have been occupied for at least 800 years. Essentially rural with off-the beaten-track
charm, Wairarapa promises a diverse experience for those who appreciate great wine, gourmet food, astonishing wildlife and
natural beauty. Rolling vineyards, acres of apple orchards, fields of lavender, olive groves, heritage museums and quaint
historic towns combine to make Wairarapa an appealing destination. WAIRARAPA Activities
