This October, The Landing and Sage Restaurant at Paroa Bay Winery proudly announce their first collaborative weekend. Guests are invited to indulge in a 6-course dinner on Friday night and a sharing-style long lunch on Saturday, created by two talented executive chefs and paired with the craftsmanship of passionate winemakers.
The Bay of Islands region is one of New Zealand’s ‘food baskets’, with incredible fresh produce, as well as being a rising star of the wine industry. This collaboration between The Landing and Sage at Paroa Bay celebrate the best of what the Bay of Islands has to offer.
The executive chefs at the two properties – Mat Cook from The Landing and Dan Fraser from Sage – will highlight produce from some of their favourite artisan growers and gatherers, such as the renowned Fish to Fish Whangarei, known for their commitment to sustainable local fishing, and Mahoe Farmhouse Cheeses, celebrated for their award-winning cheeses. Additionally, the chefs will showcase fresh produce from The Landing and Paroa Bay’s own gardens and orchard.
No great meal is complete without a great wine pairing. Our winemaker Ben Byrne and Paroa Bay Winery winemaker Paul Goodege will meticulously select wines to complement each course, giving guests the opportunity to discover the diversity of the Bay of Islands wine offering.
From the water’s edge at The Landing, looking out toward the horizon, you can spot Paroa Bay across the other side of the Bay. Sharing the same values and love for our land, this collaboration between our two properties was inspired by the idea of celebrating and showcasing the Northland region.
With its ideal setting and views over the Bay of Islands, Sage Restaurant at Paroa Bay was recently awarded One Hat in the Cuisine Good Food Awards 2023/2024.
For an unparalleled dining experience that showcases the culinary excellence of our chefs alongside the expertise of our winemakers, guests are invited to reserve their seats for this intimate winemaker’s dinner at Sage Restaurant.
Sharing-style long lunch featuring courses from the dinner menu $95pp / add wine pairing $70pp which will include Paroa Bay & The Landing wines.
Lunch reservations available to book between 11.30am – 2.30pm.
