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. |

Apostle Hot Sauce
 |
Food & Beverage |
Apostle is a small team of three, Mat, Lydia and their dog Ben. Mat had been concocting delicious sauces, ferments and spice mixes for years, so in an attempt to get to know their community better, they started selling them at their local market in Paekākāriki. With an overwhelmingly positive response, they decided to do more. With Lydia’s background in graphic design and their shared love of great food, they thought this would be a wonderful way to utilise their individual skills and passions to create something beautiful together. They draw inspiration for their flavours from the diverse culinary landscape of Aotearoa, blending the best of local flavours to make every dish enjoyable. Heavily inspired by Roman Catholic artwork, Greek Orthodox iconography, Irish Illuminated Manuscripts and Tarot de Marseilles, each bottle and its contents are considered a work of art, a gift from their hearts to your plate. |

Waiheke Distilling Co
 |
Spirits |
Waiheke Distilling Co is set on the ridge above Cowes Bay (formerly Pikau Bay). The distillery has been respectfully established to sit alongside and meld within structures that resonate the farming history of the area. Former pasture land has been painstakingly developed into a garden that exemplifies the botanical story of the product produced, bottled and served onsite. Pikau means “to take care of”. Waiheke Distilling Co have the privilege of carefully crafting a botanical spirit in a sustainable and meaningful way. It is also our pleasure to welcome and take care of guests that may journey to the eastern end of Waiheke Island, and choose to spend some time with us, or support us through online or cellar door purchases. |
