The Winemakers Table, round two.

On 5 August we're joined by Gordon Russell, who spent 30 years as winemaker at Esk Valley and picked up NZ Winemaker of the Year along the way. He's opening bottles from his personal Esk Valley collection, wines he made, aged the way he intended.

The menu is built around them, with plenty of produce straight from Gordon's garden in Bay View.

17 seats across two tables. A few are already taken by people who missed out on the Ollie Powrie night, so don't sit on this one.

$120pp | Wednesday 5 August

Business as usual.

Tomorrow is our first ever Winemaker's Table, with Ollie from Chateau Garage.

Missed out on a ticket? Shame on you. Thankfully, there'll be another next month.

In the meantime, you can still attend by osmosis, just dine with us tomorrow night as usual. Bring one of those big cone things you hold up to your ear and you might catch what Ollie's saying two tables over.

See you from 5.30pm

It's cold out there. We can't fix that, but we can fix dinner.

Roast chicken breast, pressed leg, carrot, cabbage, diane sauce. A bright spot in a generally grey old week.

Make mid-winter worth looking forward to. Book a table.

Sunshine. Art deco. Stone fruit. Meatballs. Syrah.

What do these have in common?

Hawke's Bay does them better than the rest.

At CFS you can join us after a day in the sunshine, in our art deco building, snacking on stone fruit (in season) while sipping on one of eight local syrahs.

The meatballs we'll leave to Shaneo's.

We're proud to showcase the best of this region to locals and visitors alike.

Get a taste of Hawke's Bay this week, book a table.

You call that a snack?

When we say "snacks" on the Trust the Chef menu, we don't mean a bowl of olives with a side of peanuts.

We mean proper little dishes designed to wake up your palate and set the tone for what's coming.

Delicious morsels that actually make you think about what you're eating.

This is the opening act before the main stars hit the table.

Book a table and see for yourself.

Introducing: The Winemakers Table

Starting 1 July, we're launching a monthly event that brings you into the conversation between wine and food.

Less than 20 seats split across two tables, rustic classics paired with wines presented by the makers themselves. This month it's pouring and talking through his work.

Warning: you will make friends AND have very strong opinions about wine by dessert.

$120pp | Wednesday 1 July | Book now - seats are limited and they won't last long.
