A waterfront table and a long lunch to sip and savour.Enjoy harbour views and the relaxed atmosphere at Trinity Wharf’s iconic over-water restaurant as the Flavours of Plenty Festival returns with a more intimate dining experience.
Led by head chef Peter Jeffré, whose career spans European apprenticeships and kitchens across Germany and New Zealand, this thoughtfully curated two-course lunch celebrates seasonal produce at its best. Each course is paired with wines from Leveret Mills Reef, creating a natural dialogue between kitchen and vineyard.
Peter’s approach blends classic technique with a genuine respect for ingredients and seasonality. Expect beautifully crafted dishes that showcase New Zealand produce, complemented by wines selected to enhance each flavour. With waterfront views, a relaxed pace, and a focus on food, wine and connection, this is a Flavours of Plenty experience to savour.
This event can cater for gluten-free, dairy-free, and vegetarian dietary requirements, if advised at least seven days in advance.
