Food is at the heart of your experience
We pride ourselves on knowing where our food is sourced and how it has been nurtured. Our chefs use only the freshest local ingredients from Central Otago’s basin. In fact, the free range venison, Lumina Lamb and Angus Beef we use are all sourced from Minaret Station’s own 50,000 acre working farm. Seafood is fresh from Stewart Island, the West Coast and Fiordland. Our beautiful produce is provided by our passionate local growers.
A simple yet refined style
We pair our food with an extensive range of fine New Zealand wines from boutique winemakers who care as much about their wines as we do about our food. The Central Otago region provides an oasis for distinctive seasonal produce. The region's cool winters and hot dry summers provide excellent growing conditions, allowing local suppliers to produce an abundance of delicious stone fruit and berries, Manuka honey and vegetables to enjoy.
Where you choose to dine at the Alpine Lodge is up to you. Perhaps with others in the Mountain Kitchen’s beautiful dining room, the library with the fire burning, alfresco on the deck, or in the privacy of your own chalet. The choice is yours.
