Caviar Showcase Dinner II

Caviar Woven Through the Menu

Sturgeon Valley and Embra presented Caviar Showcase Dinner II, a one-night collaborative dinner in Taupō led by Chef Phill Blackburne.

The menu was shaped by the kitchens, travels and people that have influenced Phill and Nora’s world of hospitality. Across the evening, each course brought together New Zealand ingredients, personal style and technique, and Sturgeon Valley caviar, used with purpose rather than excess.

Guests enjoyed a flight of dishes that let the caviar play different roles throughout the menu, while still feeling unmistakably Embra. The result was not simply a caviar dinner, but a menu that reflected Phill’s cooking journey and his way of expressing it on the plate.

Sturgeon Valley founders Nicholas and Wanda were in the room throughout the evening, supporting service, sharing their caviar story, and answering questions along the way.

This was a limited-seat event, created for an intimate room and a focused dining experience.
