F.A.W.C! Expressions of Local

Wallingford’s Christopher Stockdale and Kate Radburnd of Radburnd Cellars team up to bring you a food and wine offering that is deeply focused on Hawke's Bay produce. All set on Wallingford’s expansive lawn, this is a seven-course degustation paired with incredible wines and live music all set in stunning surrounds. Enjoy the picturesque drive to Wallingford, in Central Hawke’s Bay, before settling in at the historic homestead, that would be quite at home in a literary novel.

With a jazz band on the green and birds chirping in the trees, this incredible lunch will deliver majestic flavours. Discover what drives these two leaders in their fields – Kate Radburnd and Christopher Stockdale – while making the most of the tranquil scene and delightful company.

Ticket price includes cocktail on arrival, live Jazz on the lawn by Matt Mear and his ensemble, wander through the homestead gardens, four glasses of 150ml wine by Kate Radburnd, seven course Degustation lunch by Christopher Stockdale.
