Father's Day Gift Guide 2021
Father’s Day is fast approaching and although it’s uncertain whether we’ll get to see our dads in the next week and a half due to Covid-19 restrictions, there’s no reason why you can’t send yours a gift!
Sabato Range
A true foodie Dad will appreciate the fabulous range of gourmet goodies from Sabato. Their shelves are full of stunning hero ingredients sourced from mainly small family-run artisan producers in Europe, and closer to home, here in New Zealand.
Their carefully curated ‘The Luxe Life’ hamper, is the perfect gift for Dads who enjoy the finer things in life. Featuring: a Pruno Ribera del Duero Spanish red wine, with all its wonderful cassis and plum flavours, complemented by a Valrhona Guanaja chocolate block, with all its lingering intensity, the luxurious Pons black truffle-infused extra virgin olive oil and the award-winning Giusti Riccardo balsamic vinegar – this gift will certainly be enjoyed and appreciated.
We would also suggest gifting the Giusti Monolegni balsamic trio, for a unique taste experience. Indulge your Dad in all the unique characteristics of traditionally made balsamic aged in single casks of chestnut, acacia, and mulberry, concentrating the individual characteristics of each wood.

Restore Bone Broth Tonic
New Zealand family owned Greenlea Premier Meats has created a range of bone broths and bone broth tonics to appeal to health-conscious Dads and the growing demand for health and wellness products. Whether used in cooking or as a ready-to-drink beverage, bone broth is well known for a wide range of benefits including gut health and boosting immunity. All products in the range are a source of protein and collagen, keto/paleo friendly, gluten free, dairy free, and hormone and antibiotic free.
The broths are all beef or chicken based and are slow simmered for 24 to 48 hours to extract all the goodness. The tonic range has added herbs and spices for a pleasant and healthy afternoon replacement to tea or coffee. The added ingredients have been chosen not only for flavour but also for their known health benefits … such as cinnamon, maca, turmeric and ginger.

Divergence Single Malt NZ Whisky
Surprise the Whisky loving Dad with an award-winning New Zealand Single Malt for Father’s Day.
Well known for their Curiosity Gin, these talented distillers are producing whisky that spirits judges love. Aged in virgin French oak barrels for three and a half years, both the San Francisco World Spirits Awards and the NZ Whisky Awards (The Drammies) awarded Divergence Gold in 2021.
Whether Dad’s a long time whisky guru or new to the dram, the special release single cask expressions are something to keep an eye out for.
Just released and in time for Father’s day is a Sloe Gin Barrel Finished expression. This single malt has aged three years in smaller French Oak Barrels followed by 12 months in a barrel previously used to make Curiosity Gin - Pinot Barrel Sloe Gin.
Honouring the traditions of whisky making legends, Divergence is Born of Nature, starting with 100% Canterbury grown and malted barley and artesian water from the Southern Alps. Distilled by Industry, it is skilfully crafted and carefully tended in The Spirits Workshop Christchurch city distillery, using smaller barrels and the always changing antipodean climate to deliver flavour well in advance of a similar aged whisky from most other places.
The Spirits Workshop are fortunate enough to be able to operate for online orders and deliveries during lockdowns so have a look online at their Divergence Whisky and Curiosity Gin range.

Jules Taylor Wines' Marlborough Pinot Noir
Finding a great Father's Day gift is tough.
You know Dad loves wine, but not all wines are created equal, and it’s hard to find the perfect bottle.
Don’t worry, we have just what you need – Jules Taylor Marlborough Pinot Noir is the perfect choice for Father's Day. Jules is New Zealand's Winemaker of the Year, and her wines are loved by everyone!
A stunningly expressive wine, this is dangerously good Marlborough Pinot Noir. Pinot is the rising star of Marlborough and offers outstanding value for money. Grown on the southern hills in clay soils, this Pinot is always well rounded with oh-so juicy flavours of dark cherry and Black Doris plum. The finish is dry with a nice touch of dark chocolate and spice. Perfect to pair with everything from salmon to steak, you know dinner’s going to be good with this wine!
No-one wants an ugly tie. Give him something he'll really enjoy - a glass of his favourite Pinot Noir or two, it’s the perfect way to say “I love you Dad!” so grab some now.
