Culinary Experiences
We have reimagined what it is to dine.
To not simply create a meal, but to create a memory around it. All while showcasing the best of Central Otago.
From truffle hunting in Bannockburn followed by a three-course lunch, to dining amongst regenerative paddocks on a lakeside high-country station — each experience
is designed to be more than just a meal, but a moment to remember.
Truffle Hunt and long lunch at
Black Quail Estate
-Bannockburn, Central Otago
01.
Arrive by helicopter, landing on the edge of the Kawarau River, set amongst the historic vines of Black Quail Estate.
Alternatively, travel by private vehicle along the iconic Felton Road, arriving through the estate’s wrought iron gates.
You’ll be welcomed by your guide and chef with a glass of bubbles and seasonal bites, before heading into the hazelnut groves to hunt and uncover your own truffles.
With your harvest in hand, a short walk leads you to the estate’s award-winning villa, where you’ll settle in for a relaxed three-course lunch, thoughtfully prepared by your chef. Paired with Black Quail Pinot Noir and set against a remarkable landscape, the experience concludes with a visit to the cellar door to explore the estate’s collection further.
Dine in the Regenerative Paddock
-Lake Hawea Station, Lake Hawea.
02.
At Lake Hāwea Station, dining is more than just a meal – it’s an experience that connects you to the whenua and comes with a story about a purpose to fight for a healthier climate, healthier food systems and healthier you.
Lake Hāwea Station is the world’s first B-Corp sheep and beef station, championing regenerative agriculture and climate action, showing farming can help heal the planet.
Gather your close ones to dine and immerse yourself in lush regenerative pastures as the sun sets.
Chef Dane’s food is a world-class art – locally and seasonally sourced with dishes created from station foraging.
