F.A.W.C! Grand Long Lunch

Back for its third year, the Grand Long Lunch is heading to a new secret location, with new chefs on board and new wines to be discovered.
Situated in a picturesque corner of New Zealand’s Food and Wine Country, the Grand Long Lunch is the cornerstone event of F.A.W.C! and a not-to-be-missed event.

This year we've teamed up with Editor and renowned foodie Kelli Brett to celebrate some of Cuisine's outstanding chefs and hatted restaurants around the country. The five-course menu will showcase dishes from Chef Sam Clark, Central Fire Station Bistro and Rosewood Cape Kidnappers Pastry Chef Claire Hunter and will welcome chefs Georgia van Prehn, winner of the One to Watch at the Cuisine Good Food awards 2024, formally at Mr Morris Auckland, Cuisine Chef of the Year Cory Campbell, formally of The Grove Auckland and the chef behind the American Express Restaurant of the Year for 2024 Ben Bayly, Ahi Auckland.

Each course will be matched with a spectacular Hawke’s Bay wine. And with bus transfers included in your ticket price, everything has been thought of. All that’s left to do, is book!

To plan your day please allow for bus transfers to begin from 10.45am and return at 5.30pm. Bus transfers will be from Napier, Hastings and Havelock North. Further details will be sent to guests closer to the event. When purchasing your tickets, please select an add-on to let us know which bus transfer location you would prefer.

Due to the nature of the event, we are unable to cater for dietary requirements.

F.A.W.C! Food and Wine Classic is a series of exceptional food and wine experiences set in stunning locations in Hawke’s Bay. Running from March 14-23, F.A.W.C! is a chance to get up close and personal with chefs and food producers, wine makers and the clever people that make up the New Zealand food and wine scene.
