Thank You Cuisine - Australasia’s Most Trusted Voice in Food

Cuisin food guide

With over 30 years at the table, Cuisine Magazine has long championed the people and places shaping New Zealand’s culinary identity. As the force behind the Cuisine Good Food Awards, Cuisine sets the national standard for excellence in dining.

The Only Table is proudly curated in partnership with Cuisine, drawing on decades of insider access to the country’s most celebrated chefs, winemakers, foragers, and storytellers.

Because no one knows flavour, or how to find it, like we do.

Kelli Brett, Editor of Cuisine Magazine

Rare Access

The Only Table is the only way in.

These are experiences you can’t Google, unlocked through deep insider networks Cuisine has built over decades. Think hidden vineyards and deserted beach long lunches.

You don't just get a seat at the table, you get to step inside the kitchen. 

Deep Connection

Each expedition is shaped by Cuisine's collective of trusted insiders, winemakers, producers, chefs, and cultural storytellers, chosen not just for what they know, but how they share it.

You won’t just visit.

You’ll be part of it.

Unforgettable Flavour

If you live for food, this is where it lives.

You’ve eaten in Michelin-starred restaurants. Now you crave something rarer, flavour at its source.

We work with New Zealand’s finest chefs, growers, and foragers to take you beyond the expected…
to lead you off the map and into flavour worth the journey.

Raw & Immersive

The kind of story you have to live to tell.

The most memorable experiences aren’t served in cloches, they’re served on clifftops.

From secret truffières to hāngī still warm in the earth, from back-of-house kitchens to vineyard ridgelines, you’ll walk the whenua, taste the season, and connect with tastemakers shaping Aotearoa.

Restorative Luxury

Luxury that lets you unwind.
From door-to-door transfers to private charters and a Culinary Concierge who has considered and curated every detail.

There’s nothing to plan.
Only space to arrive, breathe, and be present.

This isn’t just luxury — it’s an invitation to slow down, reconnect, and feel truly nourished.
