OUR FOOD PHILOSOPHY

Much like how winemaking is working in balance and cohesion with the elements, our Executive Chef Nik Tucker adapts to what produce the season brings him to create flavoursome dishes bursting with life on your plate—using his exceptional skills working with coals, to allow the natural flavours of the produce to shine through without overpowering the accompanying wine.

"St Hugo is renowned for powerful and elegant wines, and as the Executive Chef, my goal is to complement these wines with flavoursome, relaxed food," says Nik. "In everything I create, I aim to showcase the wines with high quality, fresh produce from local producers…that are genuinely passionate about their product. I am proud to be able to carry this philosophy through to St Hugo with the use of the onsite kitchen garden and excellent suppliers."
