march 2026 newsletter

March has been a very busy month, meeting and greeting a range of excited guests and clients.

ANTHEA is mixing and mingling, and the feedback has been so positive. We have thoroughly enjoyed how easily ANTHEA Blanc, Blush and our selection of botanical spritz can lift the adult non-alc offering for a celebration without compromise.

Why does low sugar taste so good? Darren designed ANTHEA to be an acid driven drink, allowing a drinking experience which accompanies food, enhances the savoury flavours, and provides a long, satisfying finish. A small amount of sugar is added to achieve balance, add weight, and promote the fruity and floral flavours.

We’ve been sharing more about the story of ANTHEA and our botanicals this month, and celebrating the women who make up our community.

As the last of the summer sun fades away and the leaves change colour, we move into the autumnal season of engagements - one of our favourite seasons here!

6th March – Serving the guests arriving at Azabu Restaurant in Mission Bay Tickled Pink Agency’s International Women’s Day panel discussion with Anna Mowbray, Madison Malone and Amber Taylor. An engaged crowd listening to every valuable word from three incredibly talented women and the unstoppable Rochelle Moffitt!

19th March – Hard working Directors needed something to keep them going at the recent Institute of Directors. Risk, resilience and governing change: building sustainable organisations event at the ASB Cube, North Wharf, Wynyard Quarter. An incredible venue with talented event and hospitality teams, Amy McNichol this was a master class in hosting and organising.

29 March – Kumeu Valley Estate. ANTHEA loves weddings and once again was served for Bride/Grooms and families learning about options and planning their special day.

We love to share our botanicals at the regular Kumeu Valley Estate Open Days. ANTHEA pairs well with a day of exploration and celebration!
