DELAMORE LODGE ~ FOOD AND WINE, WAIHEKE ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND
food and wine
Food and wine are a celebration on Waiheke Island. Dotted with world-renowned vineyards and olive groves, the island has its own food and wine festival and is home to a growing number of quality restaurants such as Cable Bay Vineyard, Mudbrick Café and Stonyridge Vineyard (lunch only).
Naturally, food and wine are also key features of the Delamore Lodge experience. "Fresh" is the theme for executive chef Aaron Smith, who uses locally or homegrown produce (the lodge has its own vegetable and herb gardens), and fresh fish and shellfish from the gulf, wherever possible.
Gourmet breakfasts are tailored to your individual tastes and can be served in the indoor or outdoor dining areas both with stunning sea views, or in the privacy of your guest suite. Tea, coffee, seasonal fruit, muffins, pastries and freshly squeezed juices are made available to you throughout the day.
In the evening join your hosts and other guests for complimentary pre-dinner drinks and hors d'oeuvres. Experience fine food at a quality restaurant nearby in Oneroa, take the ferry to Auckland city for dinner, or enjoy an individually-tailored four-course dinner (NZ$145 per person, plus wine) with a private chef at Delamore Lodge. The chef can even prepare your fresh catch if you have spent the day fishing. And the lodge's wine cellar features a wide range of local award-winning wines for you to choose from.
