Indulge in one of Queenstown’s most iconic culinary experiences with the Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Lunch. This unforgettable half-day adventure combines stunning lake views, heritage cruising, and a decadent Kiwi feast in a spectacular high-country setting.
Begin your journey aboard the historic TSS Earnslaw, a century-old steamship lovingly known as the “Lady of the Lake.” Enjoy a leisurely cruise across Lake Whakatipu, taking in panoramic vistas of The Remarkables and Cecil Peak along the way. The journey to Walter Peak High Country Farm is an experience in itself, offering a nostalgic taste of old-world travel combined with jaw-dropping South Island scenery.
On arrival at the homestead, you’ll be greeted by the aroma of sizzling local produce, cooked to perfection on the outdoor BBQ. The Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Lunch features a generous buffet selection of premium meats, fresh seafood, seasonal salads, and indulgent desserts — all set against the stunning lakeside backdrop. With a glass of New Zealand wine or craft beer in hand, this is relaxed dining at its absolute finest.
After lunch, wander the beautiful lakeside gardens or join a farm demonstration to meet the friendly farm dogs and working sheep. Gain insights into high-country farming life, a cherished part of New Zealand’s rural heritage. This authentic farm experience adds a fun, interactive twist to your visit and is a highlight for both visitors and locals alike.
The return cruise on the TSS Earnslaw is the perfect way to unwind after your meal. Grab a coffee or visit the onboard mini-museum to learn more about the Earnslaw’s storied past before gliding back to Queenstown.
Walter Peak Gourmet BBQ Lunch is a must-do for foodies, families, and anyone keen to combine scenery, local flavor, and history into one seamless experience.
