Meet Chef Théo, the culinary maestro behind our acclaimed Cellar Door menus
Chef Théo Dubost, who leads the culinary team here at Greystone’s Cellar Door, is renowned for his creative flair and dedication to showcasing the best of local, seasonal produce. His passion lies in sourcing the freshest ingredients from the region and cooking within the season, not only for their superior taste but also for their positive impact on the environment.
Inspired by nature, Chef Théo believes in utilizing every part of the ingredient, including butchering our own sheep and sharing the cuts in a nose-to-tail approach. This commitment to sustainability and respect for nature is evident in every dish, offering guests an unforgettable culinary experience that honors the flavors of the land.
This connection between food, nature, and sustainability reflects the importance of embracing local resources and respecting the environment, values that resonate deeply with Chef Théo and shape his approach to the Greystone menu.
Chef Théo brings the same intensity to life that he does to his cooking. When he’s not in the kitchen, you’ll find him with grease on his hands, fixing up engines, or out with friends at concerts & gigs. He’s got a thing for road trips and motorcycle races, and he’s always on the hunt for a meal that’s anything but ordinary.

It is easy to make great wine if you have a top vineyard in the Waipara hills, a talented viticulturist and an enthusiastic and innovative winemaker. Greystone wines never fail to impress for their honesty, purity and expression of place and vintage.
