Kumutoto Awa was one of the living streams of Pōneke long before the city buried it underground in 1866. This four-hour guided hīkoi traces its path from the Kelburn hills to the waterfront, connecting it through kai, kōrero, and the people who are working to restore the place of the awa in the city's future – The Kumutoto Restoration Project. You'll start with a light lunch and cocktail at Graze in Kelburn which will be a collaboration between Chef Max Gordy and the Kumutoto Community Orchard founder and avid forager Milan Magan. You will also meet your hosts Martin and Micheline who will regale you with stories about Wellington's lost streams. From there, the group walks to the only remaining stretch of the Kumutoto stream still visible above ground, where soup waits alongside more kōrero about the whakapapa of the awa. The route then follows the buried path of Kumutoto down the Terrace to Bert's Bar for a final cocktail created with a foraged ingredients from Kumutoto before finishing at the mouth of the awa on the waterfront. All food and drinks across the event are included in your ticket, with ingredients foraged from the Kumutoto Community Orchard and ngahere. Wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. The route covers approximately two kilometres and includes steps. The ticket price includes an optional foraging workshop with Milan Magan. You'll spend an hour in the orchard and ngahere learning about what you'll be eating and drinking the following day. Saturday 1 August, 9-10am.
