PIZZA & SOURDOUGH

Fresh, Locally Made Artisan Sourdough at Tarata Eco Retreat

There’s something deeply comforting about the smell of fresh sourdough, torn open and shared slowly. During your stay at Tarata Eco Retreat, you can enjoy a locally made artisan sourdough loaf, crafted with care and perfect for relaxed mornings, unhurried afternoons, or evenings spent grazing by the fire.

A Taste of Tradition

Our sourdough is made using traditional methods and a long, slow fermentation process that brings depth of flavour and beautiful texture. Expect a crisp, golden crust with a soft, airy crumb inside, simple, nourishing, and deeply satisfying. It’s a small but special way to experience the craftsmanship of local baking while you unplug and unwind.

Wood-Fired Pizza Evenings

We also have a wood-fired pizza oven on site (the one pictured), tucked gently into the landscape and made for slow, relaxed evenings as the sun dips behind the hills.

Our ready-to-bake sourdough pizza dough is perfect for creating your own rustic pizzas by firelight.
Each $7 dough portion makes two small pizzas. You can either:

• Combine the dough to create one generous, dinner-plate-sized pizza, or

• Make two smaller individual pizzas, ideal for sharing with a glass of wine while the fire crackles nearby.

It’s an experience that invites you to slow down, cook together, and savour the moment.
