Armed with a wicker basket and a tipple in hand, you’ll begin by roaming the expansive Wallingford grounds gathering herbs, nuts, acorns and leafy greens before convening at the pool pavilion as chef Christopher Stockdale uses your found treasures to prepare initial tasting plates.
Having tucked your recipe cards and samplers away for a midnight snack, you ‘ll then take a seat at the beautifully laden table, nestled in amongst old growth trees and established gardens. Be delighted by a five-course menu accompanied by wines that celebrate Hawke’s Bay’s place as one of the 12 Great Wine Capitals of the world. Conclude with hot beverages and digestifs by the open fire – a fitting end to a delicious encounter with sun, soil, branch and bee.
Ticket price includes: welcome beverage, garden forage, cooking demonstration, 5 course degustation and 4x 75 ml serves of wine
