Wallingford Homestead

Wallingford Homestead is a restored country villa where you can stay and dine in style, or eat by reservation. Wallingford Homestead offers a truly special dining experience, where award-winning chef Chris Stockdale creates generous feasts inspired by the produce grown on and around the estate. Seasonal produce and foraged fare sourced from local hunters, fishers, cheesemakers and more, is the focus (even the Angus beef comes from the homestead’s own grounds). From Tora crayfish with tapioca and pork crackling to Périgord black truffle and First Light venison, every dish leaves a lasting impression, the kind that has you planning your return before you’ve even left the table.Whether you’re planning a food-and-wine escape or simply looking for a distinctive taste of Hawke’s Bay, Wallingford Homestead delivers a refined celebration of New Zealand produce, wine and hospitality. This is what dreams are made of.
