Wanaka Harvest Lunch
31 March 2019, Wanaka
If this isn’t what a supper should look like, we’re unsure what is. The lunch will be cooked by some of Wanaka’s top chefs who will transform food donations made by the locals into a multi-course lunch.
At the event you don’t just get a meal – local food champions will be speaking at the event on how, why and what we eat is more important than ever.
