It’s also a popular stop for cyclists who love a tasty brunch after an early morning cycle.

Pick-up some local goodies at the Clevedon Farmers’ Market held each Sunday, including handmade kiwi pies, smoked sausages, delicious fudge, juicy berries and homemade jams. Pop into the Clevedon Woolshed – a charming iconic country store – and browse a selection of New Zealand made products which make perfect gifts.

Surrounding the village you’ll find boutique vineyards and many emerging specialty food producers and markets scattered across the rolling green hills.
