Wānaka Harvest Long Lunch

As part of Local Food Month, join us for a Long Lunch at the beautiful Rippon Hall, Wanaka on Sunday 11th April 2021, 1pm - 4pm.

Enjoy a celebration of local food, community growers and the harvest’s bounty. All food will be locally donated by the Wanaka community and will be transformed into a delicious, multi-course lunch cooked by some of Wanaka’s top chefs. Guest speakers (local food champions) will talk about why, how and what we eat is so important. BYO plate, cutlery and drinking vessel.

Tickets $45 per person + booking fees, $20 per child (under 10) + booking fees (maximum 2 children per paying adult). Rippon wine and local beer available for purchase on the day. All proceeds from the event go to Wānaka's Food For Love. 

We are also hosting the 7th Annual Autumn Apple Drive on the Saturday 10th April 2021, 10am - 4pm. This annual event is a showcase of making use of and reducing food waste by preserving surplus produce. Local Food Wānaka will be hosting a communal chutney making session with Lorne from Pirate Pickles, as well as fresh juice pressing. Bring your surplus fruit, a sharp knife, a chopping board, small jars and 1-2 litre bottles for juice and join the communal activities. The Apple Drive is a great opportunity to meet others and do something together as a community.

No tickets required, but a donation of $5 on the day is greatly appreciated to help cover costs.
