The Local Food Kitchen

Experience the Tastes and Flavours of Matakana's Artisan Food Producers, one of New Zealand's Premier food and wine regions.

We provide the opportunity for locavores, food lovers and tourists alike, to meet local producers and gain new skills in the kitchen.

We are THE FOOD HUB of MATAKANA.

The Gourmet Within situated in the heart of Matakana Village, offers you a myriad of ways in which to unleash your Gourmet Within.

Our aim is to get people into our kitchen, interacting with food and food producers, having fun and enjoying new food experiences.
