Humdinger Gin
 |
Beverages |
Greatness comes from small beginnings. A dose of encouragement and a dash of bravery drove us to leave our successful careers and dive head first into the unknown in 2019! There is nothing smaller, or greater, than the humble bee. They play a vital role in nature and are key in helping maintain a healthy ecosystem and produce some of the finest botanicals necessary to craft a quality gin. Our brand pays homage to this little superstar. We celebrate them not only in our name and on our label but we also donate 1% of profits to support the establishment of beehives. We are committed to our craft – ensuring that each botanical is hand prepared, allowing their flavours to slowly infuse and harmonise to create a stunning small batch gin that proudly carries the Humdinger brand. Celebrate the little things in life with Humdinger. |

Vince

Food |
In 2009, at six months of age, our beautiful daughter stopped thriving and developed skin and stomach issues leading to sleepless nights and much heartache. After two years of specialists, medications and every cream you could imagine, we adjusted to a plant-based lifestyle. After three weeks, most of her symptoms vanished, and our little girl is now a thriving athletic teen who loves surfing and rep football. During my 20+ year culinary journey as a chef, I have seen first-hand the positive impact increasing our veggie intake has had on our health, from struggling through the day to having more energy for my children and work, and I want to share that with everyone. My promise is real food, lovingly crafted into an easy and delicious meal base, no fillers, no preservatives, no nasties, from our family's kitchen to yours. If we wouldn’t feed it to our family we wouldn’t expect you to feed it to yours, no compromise. |
