Hosted by Te Mata Figs, in a stunning marquee overlooking the orchard, you’ll begin with a glass of wine curated by Doug Haynes of Hawkes Ridge Wine Estate, and a wander through the trees. Take in the glorious views and heady scent of fresh fig leaves and pick a perfectly ripe fig or two to enjoy later! Back in the marquee, indefatigable cooking personality Annabelle White will amuse and entertain, demonstrating a simple fig entrée that - with a little figgery pokery - you will make at your table for the first course.
Lunch is designed by Annabelle and the Figgery chef team and is certain to delight, with recipes to take home. An homage to the versatile fig, numbers for Fig Classic are extremely limited, so be quick to meet a very special foodie, and enjoy our very best fruit.
What’s included in the ticket price: 3 course lunch including fig tour and figs, wine with meal, and Annabelle White demonstrations.
