The Central Otago Restaurant Aucklanders Are Itching To Get Back To

Highly Recommended: Luke’s Kitchen in the Coromandel

Over the past few years, Kiwis have had the chance to explore our own country more than ever. And along with that has come trying plenty of new eateries up and down Aotearoa. Naturally, every traveller has that one restaurant they wish they could visit on a regular basis – we call that Hungerlust. 

As voted by you, Amisfield is the country’s ultimate restaurant destination for 2022.

Established in 1988, Amisfield is a purpose-built winery and later, an accompanying world-class restaurant and cellar door. Set in the stunning Central Otago district, views of the Lake Hayes area act as the perfect backdrop for some of the best food and wine you’ll have in your life.

Headed by Executive Chef, Vaughan Mabee, Amisfield sources fresh, quality New Zealand ingredients to create a menu perfectly complementing Amisfields wines. With an ethos to eat seasonally as nature intended, Amisfield practices classic techniques with a contemporary twist to create their internationally-acclaimed dishes.

A degustation is possibly the best way to enjoy all that Amisfield has to offer. A three to seven-course sitting, with selected Amisfield wines to match, makes for a memorable gastronomic experience, all enjoyed while taking in the rich history of the vineyard grounds.

Helping to define what New Zealand cuisine is capable of, Amisfield sets the tone for dining in some of the most beautiful places in the country, using locally and sustainably sourced produce from the land, sky, and sea.

A truly memorable encounter, every Kiwi must experience the magic that is Amisfield.
