11 W I N E S B AY P H I L O S O P H Y C A B L E W I N E Hosting your wedding on a vineyard offers a truly unique experience for your guests. As well as the pictureque rural setting, you can enjoy our award-winning wines and savour the passion that goes into each bottle. At Cable Bay, our winemaking philosophy is to hand-craft wines with their own unique and individual personality to capture the drinker s imagination. To achieve this, we grow grapes in our own, carefully selected vineyards in the most desirable locations of New Zealand; Waiheke Island and Marlborough. Our first vineyard was planted on Waiheke Island in 1998 with Chardonnay and Bordeaux varieties. Now we grow more than 10 different varieties across New Zealand including Syrah, Pinot Noir and Sauvignon Blanc. Since our inaugural vintage, we have received numerous awards and accolades authenticating our commitment to quality. 10

12 W I N E S B AY D R I N K S C A B L E A R R I VA L You may like to treat your guests to a warm welcome, with trays of bubbles on arrival. We have a list of elegant sparkling wines and Champagnes for you to choose from. You can also opt for refreshing summer drinks like Pimms or our homemade lemonade. For cooler season weddings, there s no warmer welcome than an aromatic glass of mulled wine or a hot toddy on arrival. W I N E TA S T I N G A wonderful way to enter tain your guests while you have your photos taken is to set up a wine tasting island for your guests to enjoy alongside canapés on the lawn. Our wine exper ts can explain how each of the wines you have selected have been made on-site, explain a little about our wine making philosophy and chat through any questions they may have. It is a fun way to get your guests mingling and also gives them the oppor tunity to select what they might like to enjoy with their meal. W I N E F O R Y O U R R E C E P T I O N We are very proud to serve our award-winning hand-crafted wines at Cable Bay Vineyards and offer an impressive wine list for you to select wines for your reception.

14 C U I S I N E E X Q U I S I T E F O O D P H I L O S O P H Y Our talented Head Chef, Max Larbiose has designed sophisticated menus offering fresh, vibrant and beautifully plated dishes which showcase seasonal produce from our on-site organic kitchen gardens. Max, who trained in a Michelin starred restaurant in France draws on his classical background to create his culinary masterpieces. There is an unmistakeable French influence, which he elegantly combines with New Zealand cuisine resulting in award-winning dining experiences. Our chefs champion a garden-to-table philosophy, hand picking the freshest, seasonal vegetables, herbs, edible flowers and micro greens from our organic kitchen gardens to accompany premium meat cuts and fresh seafood from the very best local producers. Taking inspiration from our own wines and Waiheke Island s terroir, the focus is on flavour and technique - allowing the quality ingredients to speak for themselves. 13

15 C U I S I N E E X Q U I S I T E C A N A P É S Whether you are having your ceremony at Cable Bay or off-site we have a couple of options for you and your guests whilst you enjoy a glass of wine and mingle on the lawn. Our delicate canapés are the perfect way to whet the appetite either on arrival, after your ceremony or whilst your photos are being taken. Picture perfect and bursting with flavour, these bite-sized treats will keep your guests satisfied. We can also set up a charcuterie station displayed on wooden wine barrels, with a mix of our platters to graze from if you choose. R E C E P T I O N D I N I N G Whatever the dining style, our exquisite cuisine is sure to impress your beloved guests. We are able to customise your dining experience to suit your style of wedding you may want roaming canapés, a buffet, a sharing-style menu or a plated menu we have a number of options to choose from. If small bites are your preference, we recommend our Canapé Menu which offers a savoury and sweet mix of lighter and more substantial canapés, timed throughout the evening. Alternatively, you can choose to offer your guests a Buffet Menu. Presented as an appetising spread across one or multiple stations, guests can help themselves and dine at their leisure. We also offer a family-style Sharing Menu which is a great option to interact with all your friends and family. This menu is served on the tables for everyone to share together, and works par ticularly well in our Verandah with its mix of booth-seating and open-plan dining. A more traditional option is our beautifully crafted and individually plated three course menu. Our chefs demonstrate complex techniques, using the finest ingredients to tantalise your taste buds. 14

16 C U I S I N E D E S S E RT Our staff are happy to cut your cake and plate this for your guests. If you d like some of the cake saved for you to take away, we are more than happy to arrange this for you. If you are not having a wedding cake or desser t, you might like to have a Cheese Station for you and your guests to nibble on for the remainder of the evening. We serve a selection of fine New Zealand and international cheeses, along E X Q U I S I T E A F T E R with gourmet accompaniments including chutneys, wafers, crackers and candied walnuts. Ask our Event Manager about our cheese cake alternatives if you would like to create a savoury spectacle, instead of the traditional wedding cake.
