Long Lunch in the Redwoods


Gather beneath majestic redwoods for an unforgettable long lunch celebrating the very best of Hawke’s Bay produce and fine wine.

Dynamic chef duo Conor Mertens (Elephant Hill) and Kate de Lautour, whose creative partnership was forged at the historic Wallingford Homestead, have crafted a menu deeply connected to the land. Between exquisite courses, Sean from Smith and Sheth will guide you through an intimate, curated wine tasting.

It’s an afternoon where nature, community, local legends, and world-class cuisine converge in a truly magical setting.

TICKET INCLUDES: This experience includes a multi-course lunch, wine tasting & live music within a redwood forest.
