South American celebration

$318 NZD per guest
Indulge in a 4-course menu highlighting the bold, diverse culinary traditions of South America—with California flair. Sample starter dishes include chile-relleno bites and palta reina (savory chicken salad sliced on avocado halves). First-course options may include ceviche and anticuchos (skewered, grilled beef or chicken). For mains, expect dishes such as chicken or beef milanesa, and salsa verde chicken. Dulce de leche and brigadeiro are sample dessert options.

California seasonal feast

$343 NZD per guest
Enjoy a 4-course menu inspired by California's bounty of fresh vegetables and fruit. Sample farm-to-table appetizers and starters include roasted grapes and brie on crostini, and chilled sweet corn soup with cilantro and lime. Main possibilities include pan-seared rockfish with roasted seasonal vegetables, and rosemary roasted tri-tip with red wine jus. Rustic peach galette with vanilla-bean ice cream, and honey-lavender panna cotta with fresh berries are sample dessert selections.

Elegant gourmet dinner

$429 NZD per guest
This 4-course meal blends rustic charm with gourmet elegance, celebrating seasonal ingredients and bold, balanced flavors. For starters and first courses, expect dishes such as seared scallops with champagne beurre blanc, and handmade saffron pappardelle with duck ragù. Mains may include beef tenderloin with bourbon demi-glace and smoked gouda mash, and miso-glazed wagyu with black garlic purée and charred baby vegetables. The meal concludes with a selection of decadent desserts.
