Lemongrass Productions, the event team behind Winetopia, Taste of Auckland, and Restaurant Month in the Heart of the City, have announced a new event to satisfy foodies and Christmas shoppers alike.
A Very Tasty Christmas Market will run over the weekend from 2 – 3 December at The Cloud on Queens Wharf.
Christmas lovers can expect a great day out with gift stalls mixed in with gourmet treats and a range of delicious wines and craft beers. There will be entertainment for all ages.
“A Very Tasty Christmas Market blends many of our favourite things – delicious food and drink, artisanal gifts and a whole lot of festive fun,” says Rob Eliott, Managing Director of Lemongrass Productions. “Pop-up bars and eateries all add to the event experience, and we have some fun in store for the kids as well.”
People can expect a wide range of food and gift items on offer including infused olives from The Kiwi Artisan, gingerbread house kits from Olli & Otti, wellness teas from Smitea and 25-year-aged balsamic vinegar drizzles from Azzuro Epicurean. Attendees can enjoy a refreshment while they shop, with sparkling drops including Champagne Autreau and Daniel Le Brun, craft beers or even a pitstop in the Besos Margarita Garden. Plenty of gift stalls are being set up for the weekend with everything from home fragrances and candles by The Becca Project, to luxury bath bombs by Essentially Tamara.
There will be entertainment for young and old within the event and plenty of dishes to try from Italian street food to fresh ceviche, and more than a few sweet treats. The event is totally undercover in The Cloud and easily accessible by bus, train, ferry or car in its location on Queens Wharf across from the Britomart transport station.
Hours of the market are 10am – 6pm on Saturday and Sunday. Entry is just $5 at the door. Children under 10 are free with a paying adult.
