Nanuku Auberge Resort (Pacific Harbour, Fiji) has opened its doors to the local Fijian kinship as well as resort guests to present a series of monthly, delectable, culinary events. Developed by Food & Beverage Director Logan Miller, the Nanuku Culinary Series is co-hosted by Executive Chef Oliver Scarf in collaboration with various Fijian community partners.
The resounding success of the inaugural event, a Wine & Dinner degustation co-hosted by Villa Maria Wines and Victoria Wines in April 2018 has inspired a series of successive community focused events including a Lean, Clean & Green event in partnership with The Earth Care Agency and the Ranadi Plantation, a Seafood, Champagne & Starlight evening with live chef stations and The King & Queen Bee honey-themed dinner precluded by visiting the resident Beekeeper and an indulgent honey-inspired spa treatment.
A more immersive Nanuku Food Safari involves visiting local Fijian markets to source fresh Fijian fruit, vegetables and coconuts, a community farm to educate participants on produce origins, before returning to Nanuku Auberge to enjoy a warrior-prepared and cooked Fijian meal.
Upcoming signature events include A Taste of Italy co-hosted by Flavio’s Italian Shop, A Sri Lankan Sojourn in association with Eden Bar & Bistro plus a Moonlight Cinematic evening with degustation courses synchronised throughout the movie screening. General Manager, Sascha Hemmann explains the vision behind the 2018 Nanuku Culinary Series. “As strong supporters of local produce and the Fijian community at large, these events allow us to promote local businesses to a wider audience.” Sascha continues, “Our aim is for each event to deliver a completely authentic, unique experience for our guests to savour, celebrating traditional Fiji as well as our multiculturalism.”
