Wintec has proudly been associated with this event, along with Cater Plus since the beginning. Over this time we have seen an increase in involvement secondary schools, tertiary providers and the hospitality industry in the Waikato and beyond.

The support from our sponsors and the hospitality industry continues to make this event possible. We remain appreciative of their support and encourage you to support them in return.

This event not only affords Wintec the opportunity to showcase our training facilities, but provides a networking platform for all those involved at the Culinary Fare to come together under one roof.

We wish all of the competitors the best of luck and look forward to seeing your creativity, innovation and flair shine through your efforts. For those of you going onto the NZ Hospitality Championships we wish you well.

On behalf of the Team at the Centre for Hospitality we acknowledge all of those who have been involved in the Waikato Culinary Fare.
