Breakfast
Breakfast is as sumptuous as you care to make it.
Coffee, tea and herbal teas, a buffet of local preserves, fresh orchard
fruits and fruit juices, home-made muesli and other cereals, hand crafted
breads, and a selection from the lengthy breakfast menu that ranges from
decadent to fresh and piquant. Breakfast is included in all room rates.

Dinner
Fresh produce and simple but innovative cuisine.
Less is more. Menus include tender Cervena venison, New Zealand lamb,
duck, terakihi, clams, salmon; enhanced with locally grown herbs, olive
oils and verjus. Our selection of the best New Zealand cheeses always
features in our menus or on a cheeseboard. The area is renowned for stonefruit
(plums, apricots, cherries and nectarines) and these are used whereever
possible in season. The style of cuisine is New Zealand - European, but
we also love more exotic flavours and endeavour to discuss special dietary
options with guests. Menus change frequently to reflect what is most in
season.
Please note that advance reservations for dinner at
the lodge are much appreciated. Dinner reservations can be made together
with your accommodation booking or phoned in advance.

Central
Otago Wine
Since Riverrun opened Central Otago has burgeoned
as the fastest growing wine region in New Zealand and the premier region
for Pinot Noir and Pinot Gris. British winewriter Jancis Robinson MW listed
Central Otago among the top five wine producing regions in the New World.
Between 10 minutes and half an hour away are some of the earliest established
wineries and some of the country's best. They are all small boutique wineries,
where the owners and wine makers are equally passionate about their product.
At Riverrun we have made it a policy to stock an ever expanding list of
superb local wines. We are happy to devise individual wine tours for guests
wishing to visit the vineyards and meet the wine makers.

Dinner
at this Wanaka lodge is always memorable; a group of travellers from many
countries exchanging experiences, indulging in superb food, sampling fine
regional wines and enjoying professional service in a relaxed atmosphere.
Alpine sunsets can be magic and candlelit indoor/outdoor dining is often
possible on warm Wanaka nights. You are free to dine at Riverrun lodge
Monday to Saturday inclusive or we can recommend an increasing number of good restaurants in Wanaka
resort. However we do recommend advance reservations at the lodge for
dinner to avoid disappointment.
