The exclusive five-star lodge in New Zealand’s Hawke’s Bay region has managed to bring together Heston Blumenthal of London's The Fat Duck, Neil Perry of Sydney's Rockpool, and Thomas Keller of the French Laundry in California for a one-off event billed as "The Ultimate Dinner".
Scheduled for 26 March 2011, the exclusive degustation dinner will only be available to guests staying at The Farm at Cape Kidnappers, and will be the highlight of a special weekend which the lodge says will include "unforgettable food, wine, golf and a spa experience at one of the world's best destinations".
The Farm at Cape Kidnappers has won a string of awards, the latest being the 2010 Andrew Harper Reader’s Choice Award as one of the world’s Top 20 Hideaways.
The luxury lodge management says even one of the three chefs would be enough to lure international food and wine enthusiasts to New Zealand, but as a trio the ultimate dinner will provide a "once in a lifetime" event.
The three top chefs will each create two signature dishes as part of a six-course dinner in which each course will be matched to Dry River wines from New Zealand’s Martinborough wine-producing region.
The Farm at Cape Kidnappers has just 22 suites and a four-bedroom owner’s cottage, and a minimum three-night stay which encompasses the night of Saturday 26 March will be required to secure a spot at the ultimate three chefs’ dinner.
The lodge management says that as well as the dinner, guests will enjoy other exclusive dining experiences over the weekend along with free time for rounds of golf on the internationally-acclaimed Cape Kidnappers course, spa treatments, farm tours and walks, and the chance to explore the Hawke’s Bay wine region.
The Farm at Cape Kidnappers is also part of a unique trio - one of three super-luxury lodges in New Zealand owned by American art collector and philanthropist Julian Robertson and family.
The Farm’s sister properties are Kauri Cliffs Lodge, Golf Course & Spa at Matauri Bay in Northland,and Matakauri Lodge which opened in August and is situated near the South Island resort of Queenstown.
All three offer world-class accommodation in some of New Zealand’s most picturesque locations and have been recognised internationally with a number of awards.
Conde Nast Traveler named The Lodge at Kauri Cliffs as 'No. 1 Lodge/Resort in Australia + Pacific' in the 2010 Readers' Choice Awards readers' survey.
