Mixing up the most decadent mocktails at Salud is Six Barrel Soda!
For 10 years, we’ve been making experimental soda syrup batches and flavours that pop in our Wellington soda kitchen. We have grown to a small team of soda lovers who make wonderful drinks worth savouring.
Our drinks are made with real ingredients, like New Zealand citrus, organic ginger, Central Otago cherries, and Fair Trade organic cane sugar. Our drinks are free from preservatives and artificial sweeteners, colours and flavours and contain around 30% less sugar than most sodas.

Dabblers all started with a couple of beverage enthusiasts wanting to make a gin they wanted to drink. Adrian and Samuel started to dabble in distilling a few years ago with the ambition of making the most creative gin in New Zealand. Both having studied Food Technology and with over two decades of industry experience between them, they went about experimenting with different techniques and ingredients.
After a couple of years of creative testing (and plenty of tasting!), they developed their infusion process that enhances all that Mother Nature has provided us with, to make a new wave of flavoured gin. They thought their gin was too good not to share (or at least that is what their mum's told them), so here they are with a range of tipples to experiment with and Dabble in

Creating rum, is in theory, a relatively simple endeavour. Creating exemplary rum however, is an altogether more challenging proposition! The devil, as they say, is most definitely in the details. We take unusual care to passionately craft a distillate that is rich and interesting, even before it is metamorphosed by our botanicals.

Premium Kiwi spirits with nothing to hide. After years spent home brewing, starting a small batch distillery was always a dream for high-performance motor mechanic and award-winning distiller Vaughan Campbell. But a leukaemia diagnosis was the kick he needed to follow his dream, to leave a legacy his kids could be proud of.
Inspired by a news article, Vaughan set his sights on reducing food wastage. Only a short few years, and an award winning competition entry later, Good Bones Distillery is now set on its course to converting New Zealands food waste into high quality, double distilled, premium Vodka.

It has been a dream for us to combine our skills and passions together and enter the beverage industry with something new and unique, and so Mixology Mocktail kits was born. New Zealand’s very first bar style mocktails at home.

Served by the wonderful team from Booster Wine Group, discover Awatere River, by Louis Vavasour - a collection of award-winning, low-yield, premium-quality wines that reflect the distinctive terroir of the alluvial river flats on which they were grown.
Awatere River creates a range of premium quality wines from our small appellation in the world-famous wine-growing region - the Awatere Valley of Marlborough, New Zealand. Standing proud at the head of Marlborough's Awatere Valley is Mount Tapuae-o-uenuku. Its glaciers feed the Awatere River, which meanders its way through some of New Zealand's best wine-growing country.
On this country, the Vavasour family settled in 1887, pioneering commercial grape-growing and winemaking, planting the first vines in the Dashwood district in 1986 and establishing the region's first winery.

Dutchy’s food style is rustic, fresh and simple. We use the best ingredients we can source locally and make as much as we can ourselves. Dutchy’s grill their burgers over a custom made charcoal grill to get that bbq flavour that can’t be had any other way.
