Fromage Feast

Part three of our Zealandia food series is a cheese-inspired offering by award-winning chef Pierre-Alain Fenoux. Drawing on his time working in Michelin-starred kitchens in France, and a deep affinity for cheese, this multi-space food experience moves through the venue — from arrival snacks and paired cocktails to fondue stations, and finally to the ‘chalet’ for savoury delicacies and desserts.

Featuring live alpine music, composed, arranged and performed by Trio Firefly: Justin Firefly Clarke (guitar), Jake Baxendale (reeds), Michael Costeloe (accordion, trumpet).
