The walk begins with a small, iconic bite and the click of the Cable Car as it climbs toward Kelburn; the city exhales below and the harbour dares you to keep tasting. Walking through the Botanic Garden, the path narrows under mānuka and pines, and the next chocolate stop hides behind a row of cafés in Te Aro — a short, delicious exploration of Wellington’s edible edges.
