Move over Bluffies — there’s a new seasonal delicacy in town. To mark the beginning of New Zealand’s caviar season, Mt Cook Alpine Salmon and SO/ Auckland are inviting guests to ascend to HI-SO Rooftop Bar for a one-night-only culinary celebration.
It’s the first taste of the season’s Freshwater King Salmon Caviar — harvested in small batches from salmon raised in the pristine glacial waters of the South Island’s Mackenzie Country. At this unmissable event, expect bumps of caviar served with flair, a buzzing fresh sashimi station, and a menu of salmon-centric creations that showcase the endless ways in which this fine food can elevate a dining experience.
Bubbles in hand, guests will experience the debut of a secret new caviar infusion, revealed exclusively on the night and not set for public release until 2026. Think: one part culinary reveal, one part rooftop revelry, with specials on Zenkuro Sake, bubbles, and cocktails, and a constellation of canapés gliding across the room.
With Mt Cook’s team onsite offering insights into the delicate art of caviar, this is more than a party — it’s a sensory deep-dive into one of the country’s most elusive seasonal treasures. For those who know fine food, this is your next gastronomic fix.
Tickets are limited, so we suggest securing your spot ASAP, here.
When: Friday, 6th June
