Taste of Southland Summer

As the sun shines brightly and the days grow longer, Murihiku comes alive with the vibrant flavours of summer. Southland's summer is a time to savour the freshest produce and seafood, enjoying the bounty of our region with family and friends.

Summer in Southland means indulging in blue cod, freshly caught and often served grilled or battered. Fiordland crayfish offers a succulent treat, perfect for a summer feast. Sweet and juicy raspberries and cherries are ideal for desserts and snacks, while peaches add a deliciously sweet touch to cobblers and salads.

Fresh sweetcorn is a barbecue favourite, and ripe tomatoes are perfect for salads, sauces, and sandwiches. Courgettes are versatile and fresh, great for grilling and adding to summer dishes.

Explore our seasonal offerings, discover what's in season each month, and immerse yourself in the beauty of Southland's summer. From event listings to summer foodie itineraries, there's something for everyone to enjoy.
