Wairarapa Agritourism - Wellbeing and agritourism evening

Join us for our last network event of the year and our first as an Incorporated Society !

Wairarapa Agritourism - Wellbeing and Agritourism evening

This event is part of our agritourism network series and is for anyone interested in agritourism within the Wairarapa.

We have two fabulous guest speakers joining us online at our November event, who will share their journeys and thoughts on the future.

This is also a good opportunity to meet the committee behind the network and learn about our plans as an Incorporated Society.

Come along for an inspiring evening exploring our opportunities in agritourism with our special guests.

Jen Mackie - The Lifestyle Physio. BSc (Hons) Physiotherapy

A physiotherapist since 2008, Jen brings more than 18 years of experience helping people move with confidence, build resilience and improve their long-term health through evidence-based movement and performance coaching.

Outside of her physio business, Jen founded Rural Ramble to share her knowledge of lifestyle medicine with rural women, bringing health education out of the clinic and into the paddock. Each Ramble offers something different—from business inspiration and health insights to the simple joy of connection—with nature woven into every experience.

Kate De Lautour - Kate DelCooks

Chef and Truffle Hunter. Kate is an amazing chef who is responsible for the menu at Blackburn Ridge. Kate's work spans local cafés, intimate catering, and secret supper clubs, always guided by good ingredients and a feel for the moment. Kate founded the Muster with Jen.

Wellness tourism is moving beyond the spa. Luxury retreats, yoga, meditation and detox programmes still have their place, but the possibilities are becoming broader—and more personal.

For travellers, wellness can mean slowing down, reconnecting with nature, enjoying a better night’s sleep or sharing meaningful time with others. It can mean moving more and switching off from technology. At its heart is a simple desire: to return home feeling better than when we left.

The wider wellness market reflects that momentum: it has reached $6.8 trillion and is forecast to approach $10 trillion by 2029.

Tonight, we’ll hear how Jen Mackie and Kate De Lautour have brought wellness into their own passions, creating an epic rural adventure: The Muster. It’s a chance to explore what wellness can look like beyond the traditional retreat—and right here in the countryside.

These evenings are a great opportunity to connect with like-minded people and become part of the local agritourism community. All welcome.

Where: 246 High Street South, Solway, Masterton.
