Dunedin Gourmet Walk
With your personal Zest guide to tell you all about the local stories and snippets of light
history, you walk from Dunedin's central Octagon to find small specialist food havens and
boutiques. Everywhere you go, you'll enjoy small tastes of local and regional specialities
including the humble yet famous cheese roll, virtually unique to Otago and Southland. You'll
meet families and owners to taste their products - maybe gourmet ice cream, sophisticated
chocolates, craft beer, freshly roasted coffee and locally baked treats.
Saturday culinary tours are special: starting a little later to arrive at the ideal time at the
popular Otago Farmers Market. Here you will meet food producers and purveyors from all over the
region, tasting samples of fresh fruit, speciality meats, baked items and other delights. Finish
with a glass of fine regional wine.
