I don\u2019t think it gets more quintessentially summer in New Zealand than in Tair\u0101whiti Gisborne.<\/p>\n

The first city in the world to see the sunrise, Gisborne is an incredible and unique part of New Zealand. Far from the well-trodden tourist trail, people visit Gisborne because they want to explore the East Cape of the North Island. Iconic for its fantastic food and wine culture; for me, it\u2019s a region of abundance. Hot and summery for a significant part of the year, I feel like I am on holiday as a kid whenever I visit. Cue eye roll from all the locals, I know.<\/p>\n

\u201cGizzy,\u201d as coined by kiwis, evokes a feeling of nostalgia for the New Zealand of our childhoods. Not that my childhood took place here, but let a girl dream. It\u2019s not a place I\u2019ve written much about before. In fact, I\u2019ve only ever been twice in all my years in New Zealand.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Come summertime, the coastline blooms bright red when the p\u014dhutukawa<\/a> tree flowers; it\u2019s also known as the New Zealand Christmas tree. Low-key and chill, Tair\u0101whiti Gisborne is a place that beckons you to kick off your sandals and stay a while.<\/p>\n

Great food, great produce, great surfing, and great nature, it\u2019s definitely one of the most underrated regions of New Zealand I\u2019ve visited. Looking back to the arrival of great Polynesian voyagers, Captain James Cook\u2019s landing, and the very first encounter between M\u0101ori and Europeans, Tair\u0101whiti Gisborne is home to so much history and culture. It\u2019s a core part of the New Zealand story.\u00a0<\/p>\n

What drew me to Tair\u0101whiti Gisborne with Zeden was the story of the land, wildlife, and produce. It\u2019s where Zeden Cider<\/a> is made.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As I\u2019ve grown and evolved over the years, I\u2019ve shifted my work to have much more of a conservation and sustainability focus. Have you noticed?<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve been so lucky to call New Zealand home for a decade. I\u2019m also so privileged to have a career that allows me to explore some of the most remote and wild places on earth. From suburban east coast America to the rural South Island<\/a>, my journey has been far more than just miles accumulated on an airline credit card or bucket list destinations to tick off. I\u2019m absolutely in love with nature and our incredible biodiversity.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It inspired me to want to protect and support these places and creatures. This is why I\u2019ve shifted to try and work with woke brands<\/a> that back nature and share the same values as me when it comes to our planet.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zeden Cider<\/a> was founded with those same ideals, just like me. And they donate some of their profit to Forest and Bird<\/a>, New Zealand\u2019s leading independent conservation organization fighting to protect wildlife and wild places. Imagine if every brand backed a cause like this.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m a big believer that when the land provides, we owe it to them to look after it. New Zealand is world-famous for its agriculture. We grow so much here, especially around Tair\u0101whiti Gisborne and the Hawkes Bay, including the apples and feijoas that make up the hard cider we love to guzzle down, especially in the summertime.<\/p>\n

Also, ever heard of feijoas? They are a national treasure here in New Zealand. A small green, autumnal fruit, they taste like a guava, and a pineapple had a tiny baby. They\u2019re delicious, and feijoa is a flavor you will find just about everywhere in New Zealand, including cider.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Last summer, I spent a few days exploring Tair\u0101whiti Gisborne with Zeden, learning how their small-batch award-winning cider is made. I learned about the land and people here, and spent heaps of time learning about some of the on-the-ground projects the local Forest and Bird chapter are looking after to protect and preserve this incredible corner of New Zealand.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a glimpse of Gisborne with Zeden through my eyes last summer. Enjoy!<\/p>\n

Many thanks to Zeden for hosting me in Gisborne. Like always I\u2019m keeping it real \u2013 like you could expect less from me.<\/em><\/h5>\n
