An Invitation to Meet New Zealand's Outstanding Food Producers

For those who believe the story behind the food is as important as the flavour, the Outstanding Makers Market presents a food show experience reimagined.

Explore their innovative new products and purchase award-winning products (get the jump on Christmas gift giving) in a relaxed and convivial setting. Plus look out for the teams from dish, and BYD as well as Leefield Station and Emerson’s who will be sampling new releases. 

To elevate your experience, every ticket includes a complimentary welcome drink from Leefield Station, Emerson's, or Anthea non alcoholic, perfectly paired with a specially curated Outstanding Canapé Box to enjoy as you explore.
