The best local food at your fingertips

18 Jan 2012

Wellington is renowned as New Zealand’s Cuisine Capital. Not only for its award winning restaurants and sophisticated café culture, but also for the celebrated vineyards of the Wairarapa, the Kapiti Coast's horticulture and market garden industry and the myriad of innovative producers throughout the region.

The Wellington Food & Beverage Database is a comprehensive presentation of the region's suppliers. The database was established to assist food buyers in the food service and retail sectors to easily find and source high-quality products from around the region and highlight those that have export capability.

If you’re a food and beverage producer, manufacturer or supplier and your company isn’t already profiled in the database, it’s strongly recommended that you are. This database will be communicated via the Visa Wellington On a Plate Festival and other channels on an ongoing basis offering great exposure for your business. To register click here.

And, for those on the hospitality side, the Wellington Food & Beverage Database is a great resource for you to check out when looking to spruce up your menu and add some Wellington flavour, also a great way to support other local businesses!
