Wine, cycling and surveying. In the Hurunui, they are coming together in one exciting community-led project.

We are pleased to have contributed, in a small way, to the 𝗪𝗮𝗶𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝘆 𝗖𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗪𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗹, working alongside the Hurunui Trails, local winemakers, landowners, businesses and passionate supporters.

These photos show the project in the depths of winter, with the foundations now in place for the new bridge over Omihi Creek. The completed bridge will connect the 7 km off-road loop, linking people with the vineyards, cellar doors and landscapes of the Waipara Valley.

Projects like this take time, coordination and plenty of grit. We are proud to play a small part and look forward to seeing the bridge come together, the trails connect and spring arrive in the valley.

There is still funding to raise to complete the bridge and connecting trails. Find out more or support the project by clicking the link in the comments.

We did it! This year's Pink Ribbon appeal was a huge success, and it's all thanks to the incredible generosity of our team and community.

We set ourselves a target of $2,500 and you helped us smash it, raising $3,172 for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ. Every dollar goes towards research, education, and support for those affected by breast cancer here in New Zealand.

We are so proud of our team for getting behind this cause and making it happen. Thank you to everyone who donated, sponsored, participated, and cheered us on.

Together, we make a difference.

Our Nelson team knows how to do a fundraiser in style.

Last week they hosted a cheese tasting evening in support of the Breast Cancer Foundation NZ Pink Ribbon Appeal, complete with fancy cheeses, fresh French baguette, and port shipped all the way from Portugal. Throw in a breast cancer awareness quiz and you have a pretty special night.

Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed cancer among New Zealand women. The funds raised through the Pink Ribbon Appeal go directly towards life-saving research, education, and support services for those affected by breast cancer here in New Zealand. It is a cause close to many hearts, and we are proud to be doing our part.

Our fundraising page is still open and we would love your support. Our target is $2,500, and every donation of $2 or more goes in the draw to win a prize hamper valued at over $800 (just include your name and contact details with your donation).

Thank you to everyone who came along, donated, and helped make the evening such a success. You know who you are.

Today we fired up the grill for a great cause! Our sausage sizzle (thanks to the legendary snags from local butcher Peter Timbs) was a lunchtime hit, all in aid of the Pink Ribbon Appeal for Breast Cancer Foundation NZ.

Special mention to our two brave blokes who donned pink tutus and wigs to man the barbecue. True legends.

The sausage sizzle is just one part of our month-long fundraising effort. We've already had a fantastic bake sale, and our hamper raffle is running all month. We're past the halfway mark on our $𝟮,𝟱𝟬𝟬 goal, but we need your help to get there!

When two of your Hokitika team come back to the office talking about a backyard ultra like it changed them a little bit, you pay attention. Lynda and Harrison took part in this year's Wild West Backyard Ultra and we're still hearing about it.

So when the opportunity came up to get behind the 2027 event as a sponsor, it wasn't a hard conversation. Our Hokitika team is part of that community, and this is what showing up looks like.

We’re thrilled to welcome Eliot Sinclair back on board as a Gold Sponsor for 2027 🙌🏻

It means a lot to partner with organisations who truly see the value in what we’re building, and we’re incredibly grateful for their continued support.

A special mention as well to Lynda Watson who will be back out there running again - we love having you committed to getting back out there next year! 💪🏼

Here’s to another big year ahead 🙌🏻
