Full of the sweet, the savoury and the salty, it’s a mix of all things good. Nibble at the beginning, devour at the end, and savour through all the moments in between as you stop and marvel at the world around. Best shared with friends or in the presence of the wild, a great bag of scroggin is a staple for a life of exploration. Here in Wanaka, we’re never far from an adventure. The mountains, bush, valleys, lakes and rivers that surround us are a constant source of flavour and inspiration. We’re damn lucky to call this place home, and it’s so good we just have to share it. For many folks (like us) who spend their time exploring this wonderful area, our best memories are of being huddled into backcountry huts, sharing meals with friends - new and old.
