Whispers of the Land is an immersive seven-course tasting journey designed to surprise, delight, and connect. Begin your evening in the garden, creating collaborative edible art before taking your seat for a carefully curated sequence of dishes inspired by New Zealand’s soil, smoke, and season. Each course unfolds with sensory theatre, from whispered stories and fleeting gestures to scents, textures, and flavours that awaken curiosity and wonder.
Created by Veceto, this experience weaves food, art, and nature into one unforgettable journey. Expect moments of quiet reflection and playful discovery, all crafted to remind you of the extraordinary stories held within our land. An evening of presence, creativity, and connection, designed to be felt, tasted, and remembered long after it ends.
We recommend bringing a light jacket, as some of the evening takes place outdoors.
Please note that this is an alcohol-free event; no alcoholic beverages are served or permitted. The menu is entirely plant-based (vegan), dairy-free and gluten-friendly. Gluten-containing ingredients are largely avoided, but the environment and preparation are not certified gluten-free, and trace amounts of gluten may be present. This event is not suitable for guests with coeliac disease or guests with any nut allergies.
