Four Sisters
 |
Wine |
The Four Sisters’ love affair with the grape began in the mid-90s. Inspired by his four beautiful daughters, renowned Australian winemaker, Trevor Mast, set about curating a label that was as stylish, sophisticated and modern as the very women who inspired it. A range his daughters would raise a glass to with friends, and that younger sippers would fall head over heels for in a heartbeat. While Trevor put the idea on paper, it was his daughter who got the label on the bottle. His eldest, Daliah – an emerging artist – designed the dramatic silhouette that would soon become the hallmark of the Four Sisters brand. After enjoying a delicious reception when first poured to the public, the label soon found a new home with the Purbrick Family. Quickly becoming a staple on tables all over the country, it’s little wonder Four Sisters is credited with creating the first mainstream brand in Australia to hero the humble Sauvignon Blanc. Today, Four Sisters is an iconic Australian brand renowned for its fruit-forward wines. Delicious drops celebrated for their consistent quality, approachable style and refreshing affordability, with a vision to have glasses filling up all over the world. Four Sisters is all about supporting women, including the industry. Our fearless winemaker Jo Nash is a master of her craft; with an unrivalled depth of knowledge and passion to elevate the quality and precision in everything we do. To Jo, quality and purity of fruit is key and always at the forefront of the winemaking process, this plays a vital role in bringing to life the magic in every bottle. Four Sisters is the epitome of sophisticated fun and connection, without fear of judgment. It’s about catching up with good friends in good times, sharing good stories over great wines. It’s about creating new memories and raising a glass to old ones. It’s about simply being together. Tomorrow, we are as proud of our rich history as we are of our future. For us, tomorrow is always a chance to strengthen our sisterhood and build a stronger, more supportive b |

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. |

Coastal Drink Co

Beverages |
It started in a hammock, under a coconut palm, in Fiji... On a family holiday in Fiji, we conceived the idea for Coastals Hard Coco—a pre-mix boozy coconut water cocktail. We wanted something bursting with flavour, a drink that makes you go, 'OMG, what is this!?' After nine months of fine-tuning the recipe, here we are, finally ready to share it with everyone. This drink is envisioned to be savoured, to be sipped with your head held high, soaking in the surroundings of the wonderful people and environment you're in. |

Working Title Brew Co.
 |
Brewery |
Working Title Brew Co. is the passion project of two mates who have been working in, around, and over a beer for the last decade. Great beer comes in many forms. Sometimes it derives from a meticulously planned scientific hypothesis, but often results from that 'wouldn't it be great if...' moment. No rhyme and no reason, that’s our motto. Old faithfuls, new concoctions and a few serendipitous cock-ups along the way. Let’s be honest, most of our beers are loosely developed over… well, a few beers. We make what we like, and we like what we make. Fingers crossed you do too. |
