2026 is an absolute record breaker with 31 venues participating in Plate Up for Love.

Bayleys Wanaka have proudly partnered with some of Wanaka’s leading hospitality venues to bring you a month of mouthwatering dishes throughout September.

How it works:

• Each venue has a featured Plate Up for Love dish.
• Every time this dish is purchased, a donation is made to Food for Love.
• You can also vote for your favourite dish.

At the end of September, the votes are collated for the favourite dish and also for the dish which was ordered the most.

The winning venues are announced at our Charity Gala & Auction being held on 15 October 2026

Plate Up for Love is a heartwarming partnership with the incredible Bayleys Wanaka team who make it all happen.
