An event your taste buds won't want to miss
Join the Aunties of Omaka Marae for a feast unlike any other.
For one night only, the co-lab behind the popular Manaaki preserves and condiments, bring you a night rich in culture and tradition while also paying homage to contemporary Māori cuisine.
Inspired by the Aunties of old – the “Queens of Manaakitanga” – who always had the pataka stocked, Hākari will take guests on a cultural and culinary journey, with each course telling its own unique – and local – story.
Live music and cultural performances will set the scene for a stunning night.
For hundreds of years hākari – or feasts – have played a key role in Māori culture as a demonstration of hospitality.
Don’t miss this rare chance to experience refined but generous Māori kai in a marae environment.
Tickets are $150 and include canapes, a 3 course dinner and welcome drink, plus an evening jam-packed full of cultural entertainment. A cash bar will be available.
