the artisan’s touch

Our drinks have been developed and hand-crafted by Darren Webster. After a decade of boutique winemaking in New Zealand and California, he has turned his talents to the quest for non-alcoholic beverages that delight and welcome all choices to reduce or eliminate alcohol.

Working at our location in Riverhead, New Zealand, he creates our unique flavour combinations starting with real flora, herbs, and spices to create enjoyable warmth and satisfying complexity.

Olivia original thinking and creativity led the brand idea, design and story for the ANTHEA brand. Recognising ANTHEA as the perfect symbol for our botanical spritzs and our support welcoming choices is entirely her original work and design.

Olivia has since moved on from our ANTHEA team, to explore the world and take on new adventures & opportunities
