cape kidnappers / hawke’s bay
Escape for a luxurious long weekend at one of New Zealand’s most sought-after accommodations – The Farm at Cape Kidnappers.
Immerse yourself in luxury, gastronomy, pampering and top Hawke’s Bay wines on a fabulous four-day staycation at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers. For those passionate about fine food and wine, this rich fertile area of New Zealand is bursting with fruit, vegetables, grapevines, olive groves and bounty from the sea. Ninety percent of our Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot are produced here, alongside some stunning Chardonnay. You would think you were in paradise.
The Farm at Cape Kidnappers sits atop rolling hills and rugged cliffs that give way to vast sea views and an ever-present horizon. It is a celebrated haven of hospitality and luxury, situated high up on the dramatic Cape Kidnapper’s peninsular – 6,500 acres of private farm with spectacular panoramic views across the Pacific Ocean and Hawke’s Bay. There is a world-class golf course, walkways, a spa, gardens to supply the kitchen, a gannet colony and night bird visits if you so choose.
I will be hosting you for all activities and events. Included in this gorgeous package is luxury accommodation in the Hilltop Suites, all meals, pre-dinner drinks, a 50-minute massage at the spa OR a day of unlimited green fees, two cooking classes, one with chef James Honore and one avec moi. There will also be market visits, cheese workshops, vineyard bicycle jaunts, picnics and of course, the famous last night bash to ensure we go out in style.
If 2020 has taught us anything, it’s to enjoy our own backyard, so come and join me at one of New Zealand’s most exclusive properties. A bientôt!

About our tours
My mission has always been to provide really authentic gastronomic and cultural experiences, far from the well-trodden tourist circuits and into the homes, restaurants and kitchens of people with real food soul.
We sample everything, from the chic to the humble because... variety is the spice of life! As usual the most difficult task has been to choose between all those delicious recipes... those tempting wines... those magical interiors... those overflowing markets... Someone's got to do it - why not you? I hope you can join us.
