New Zealand brings together such an eclectic abundance of culinary taste experiences and sensations as to make your mind dizzy even while your mouth waters.
From the ocean, from the rivers, from the fertile plains and high country pastures, the wine varieties, the seafood, game, fruits, vegetables, meat and fish fresh-caught and fresh-grown in this beautiful land are simply unsurpassed.
All kinds of interesting delicacies await. From Honeygar marinated west coast fish salad with coconut lime dressing, celeriac remoulade and herbed potato crisps at the BeesOnline Honey Centre and Café near Auckland to every-changing plat du jour feasts featuring local ingredients at Te Whau Lodge on Waiheke Island.
Soljans Estate near Auckland brings you masterful combinations of food dishes and complementary wines such as scallops wrapped in bacon with a Marlborough reisling and manuka smoked chicken with a Hawke's Bay chardonnay.
In Hawke’s Bay there’s a winery that’s also an epicurean centre. The finest local and national products are showcased in alfresco dining, indoor restaurant, culinary school and a gourmet foodstore at Sileni Estates.
The food and wine theme continues at Herzog’s Winery and Luxury Restaurant, a hideaway amid Marlborough’s vineyards. Inspired by local fresh produce, Michelin star-rated chefs create magical flavour marriages. If you feel such inspiration, take a Herzog cooking class.
You’ll find key foods are represented in different regions around New Zealand allowing for ever-changing foodie adventures. Rock lobster and crayfish, King salmon, snapper, green-lipped mussels, even paua (abalone) are a seafood lover’s delight. Fruit from the Bay of Plenty and the far North. And from the wild hills of the South Island, venison, wild pork, beef and lamb have a unsurpassed richness.
Explore the rich diversity of New Zealand’s culinary arts - and enjoy excellent taste.
