Chef's Tasting Experience
Each day, our chefs create a multi-course menu around what is at its best in the gardens and what our producers have available. The menu changes with the seasons and may feature vegetables and herbs gathered from the estate, locally raised lamb and beef, high-country Wagyu and salmon raised just minutes from the Retreat.
Overview
Rather than beginning with a fixed menu, the kitchen begins with the ingredients. Dinner unfolds over a single evening sitting, allowing time to enjoy each course without hurry. As the light changes outside, there may be time to step away from the table and watch the last colour settle across the Ben Ohau Range before returning for the next course.
The result is an intimate dining experience that connects food, landscape and season. Dietary requirements and preferences can be accommodated with advance notice, with our chefs adapting the menu while retaining the character of the experience. A children's tasting menu is available for guests aged 12 and under.
