Wānaka's Sarah Veasey has won the exclusive Eat.Taste.Central weekend escape for two which was promoted in the Wanaka App's 'Win' section over the past two weeks.

The prize was made possible thanks to Eat.Taste.Central (E.T.C); Tourism Central Otago’s annual celebration of the region’s food, wine, beverage, venues and producers.

Sarah was shocked and 'stoked' when we called her this morning to let her know she'd won.

"I've never won anything before, this is amazing, thank you so much," Sarah said.

Sarah wins a prize for two people including two night’s stay at Carrick Winery and Vineyards, the option of biking the Lake Dunstan Trail, and four meals at three Central Otago restaurants. 

E.T.C is a month-long celebration of all things food and drink in Central Otago.

"The month-long event is a chance for everyone to support local and explore the hidden gems of Central Otago, just a stone's-throw from Queenstown and Wānaka," E.T.C. campaign manager Anthony Longman said. 

“It is the perfect conduit to inspire people to get out and about enjoying our venues, hospitality and food offerings in these challenging times.

Eat.Taste.Central is the perfect opportunity to visit Central Otago, take on a trail and sample some food and wine. 

"The regional menu currently has 60 dishes, events and experiences on offer. With people’s choice and judges awards back this year and designed to champion our people," Anthony said.

E.T.C is sponsored by the Central App, a 'sister app' to the Wānaka App.

"E.T.C is everything Central, so it gels with our app philosophy which is about sharing everything Central Otago to our local people and our regular visitors,” managing director of the Central App Vicki McLean said.
