Iconic orange-and-brown Tui HQ at Mangatainoka — brewery tours, tastings and a garden-bar lunch.

The unmistakable orange-and-brown Tui Tower has loomed over SH2 at Mangatainoka since 1889, and the brewery HQ is a much-loved Kiwi pit stop. Take a brewery tour, work through a tasting paddle, and settle into the garden bar or 'Tui HQ' for a relaxed pub lunch surrounded by the brand's cheeky heritage. It's a fun, easy break that breaks up the drive through the Manawatū and into the Wairarapa.
