The Lighthouse

Floating above the The Wilds biosphere is sparkling glasshouse bistro, The Lighthouse – an intimate, plant-filled, 70-seat dining room celebrating the sustenance the earth, fields and oceans provide.

The Lighthouse is RISING’s headline fine-dining experience, led by acclaimed chef David Moyle from Franklin and Longsong (and The Saturday Paper food editor). This year he’s joined by Jo Barrett and Matt Stone (futurefoodsystem), whose cooking mission is to find a viable future for the land’s bounty.

Over a multi-course procession of dishes, the trio elevate overlooked ingredients into luxurious forms with a joyous feast honouring the integrated food systems that sustain us all.

And for full palate synthesis, Blackhearts & Sparrows founder Jess Ghaie matches wines, from underground producers – rarely-seen drops teeming with effervescent acids, textural sugars and tannins. Finish your meal with a cocktail or nightcap on the deck, overlooking The Wilds’ fluoro fantasy.
