Embrace the good life this summer and indulge in top-quality, high-calibre New Zealand taste sensations.
Summer vibes
Since the introduction of the once-controversial screw top, wine presentation has continued to evolve and innovate. Iconic New Zealand winery Villa Maria has launched its premium wine in a sleek can, perfectly timed for summer entertaining. The smaller-serve cans (25ml) deliver a crisp and refreshing wine experience, perfect for outdoor occasions, casual get-togethers, or simply enjoying without opening a full bottle. The new range includes Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Gris, and Sparkling Rosé. Cheers to that.
Get saucy
Spice up your 2026 culinary offerings with the delightfully addictive 90 Mile Hot Mango and Mānuka Chilli Sauce, just one of the many flavoursome offerings from Due North Foods. A rich, fiery, exotically flavoured sauce made from mango, mānuka-blend honey and Northland grown chillies, it packs an instant punch and can be drizzled over meat, seafood or cheese, as well as a marinade. These small-batch artisan creations are made with extreme care, using local ingredients, raw sugar and zero artificial additives.
Inspired infusions
A staple of every home and RV, olive oil is much like wine, with certain ‘vintages’ highly sought after. The Village Press is renowned for its award-winning Extra Virgin Olive Oil, and its Infusions collection is the perfect accompaniment for summer (and every other season). Each wonderfully smooth oil is infused with the light flavour of truffle, lemon, chilli, or garlic. Individually sublime and definitely worthy of a place in your culinary essentials.
Liquid gold
If the finer things in life appeal, paired with a taste for the unexpected, this whisky-infused mānuka honey is an elevated experience that somehow manages to be both bold and subtle. The Southerly is a masterful combination of 300+ MGO Mānuka Honey and eight-year-old barrelled whisky. Capturing the essence of New Zealand innovation and excellence, the luxury product is simply captivating and has already been adopted by leading chefs. Welcome to the new era of honey goodness. Enjoy in cocktails, dessert, as a glaze – or even drizzled over breakfast. Utter indulgence.
