Foodie events in the Waikato
The Waikato region is one of the best places to arrive hungry. The locals here know how to eat and proudly invite you to their ‘table’, be it at one of the celebrated restaurants, a neighbourhood café, a specialty food store, a farmers’ market or even in a farmstay kitchen. -
Waikato Markets
Fresh food straight from the source - nothing tastes better. The Waikato farmers’ markets are where to find seasonal goodness, whether it’s produce harvested that morning, or a jar of something special made from what’s been locally grown. -
Pick Your Own Fruit
In the Waikato there are many berry farms and orchards that welcome visitors who are keen to pick their own, making for a great family day out, and a tasty one too.
