LET’S MAKE IT FESTIVE

CONSCIOUS CARVING

Just because meat isn’t on the menu doesn’t mean you should miss out on the Christmas cheer! The Roast Furkey by Grater Goods is a crowd-pleaser for vegans and flexitarians alike. This seitan roast with herb stuffing, wrapped in a soy ‘skin’, comes with a maple glaze. It’s a breeze to cook and delicious hot or cold. Satisfy all Christmas guests this year, and stop by and see Flip and the team.

FRENCH FRUIT

Pampelle is the world’s first Ruby Red grapefruit aperitif, and we have a feeling you might be reaching for it this summer. Crafted on the banks of the River Charente in the Cognac region of France, Pampelle captures the bittersweet essences of Ruby Red grapefruit and makes refreshing, seasonal cocktails. Create a Pampelle and tonic, a Pampelle spritz, or a Pampelle negroni and transport yourself to the French Riviera. pampelle.com

PERFECT PAIRING

It’s the time for celebration, and what better pairing to welcome in summer than Greystone’s Pétillant Naturel and oysters? This combo of citrussy and vibrant sparkling wine alongside the freshest, creamiest oysters is served best at Greystone’s Cellar door in Waipara. Pop in for a long lunch or visit to take in the beautiful surroundings and some of the region’s greatest fare; they would love to see you. greystonewines.co.nz

GRAPE X GIN

Named for the native dolphins that call the area home, Akaroa’s Craft Distillery Hector’s Gin comes in flavour profiles foraged from Banks Peninsula. A unique offering, Hector’s French Farm Petit Pinot Gin is made with pinot noir grapes from French Peak Vineyard, syrah, kelp, thyme, lavender, and lemon myrtle gathered from local foragers and is blended with classic botanicals resulting in a ruby red gin, that’s bright, silky, and elegant. This will spice up your cocktails and offer a refreshing drink for the summer months. akaroacraftdistillery.com
