Hours at Riverrun are relaxed, guests may breakfast anywhere between 7.30am and 10.30 am.
Dinner
Fresh produce and simple but innovative cuisine. Less is more. Menus include tender farmed venison, merino lamb, duck, salmon, rabbit, hare, beef, enhanced with locally grown vegetables, herbs and olive oils. Our selection of the best New Zealand cheeses always features in our menus or on a cheeseboard. The area is renowned for stonefruit (plums, apricots, cherries and nectarines) and these are used whereever possible in season. The style of cuisine is New Zealand - European, but we also love more exotic flavours and endeavour to discuss special dietary options with guests. Menus are table d'hote and change daily to reflect what is most in season.

Central Otago Wine
Since Riverrun opened Central Otago has burgeoned as the fastest growing wine region in New Zealand and the premier region for Pinot Noir wines. Between 10 minutes and half an hour away are some of the earliest established wineries and some of the country's best. They are all small boutique wineries, where the owners and wine makers are passionate about their product. At Riverrun we have made it a policy to stock a list almost exclusively of local wines. The region produces fine dry riesling, chardonnay, pinot gris and rose, as well as pinot noir.
