One household, most famed in dignity. In fair Verona, where we lay our scene. No, no we aren't talking about any Montagues or Capulets this time. We are of course referencing Pasqua, a producer of many wines beloved by Glengarry patrons over the years. Founded in 1925 and based in the heart of Verona, Pasqua have dedicated themselves to producing some of the best value wines from Veneto, as well as some seriously good Amarone. Nearly a century on from their inception the company continues to be lovingly owned and operated by the family from which it takes it's name. Glengarry Takapuna are honoured to host a new generation family scion as Cecilia joins us to take us on a tour by tasting of some of the superb Pasqua range. Join us for a night that is sure to be as informative as it is delicious!

Hot weather and cold bubbly. Name a more iconic duo, we will wait. The pohutukawas are blossoming, partners of cricket lovers are sighing at being reminded exactly how long a Test match can go for, the ocean is becoming bearable for more than just the dedicated spearfishing and surfboarding set. In short - summer is on the way, lets celebrate it! To do just that this month at Glengarry Takapuna we are delighted to pay host to some of the best Methode producers in the country (and just quietly - maybe even the world). So slip on your boardies, slap on your sunscreen and come in for a walk around tasting to try these amazing expressions of Kiwi bubbly.

This tasting explores the wide range of flavours and styles in Irish Whiskey! The spiritual home of Whiskey, it was the Irish monks returning from pilgrimage that first produced what was then called Uisce Beatha or the ‘Water of Life’. Join us at our Takapuna store as we try our way through Blended, Single Malt, Single Pot Still and Peated expressions to see which you like most!

One might almost be forgiven for thinking that the 17th Century tulip mania has resurfaced in an infatuation with gin, such is the burgeoning range of mainstream and more boutique options available to Glengarry regulars. Fortunately nobody is having to mortgage their property to get in on this craze, but with such a huge selection to choose from the task of selecting what to sip on a sunny Sunday afternoon isn't quite as straightforward (or boring!) as it once was. With the goal of easing these tough decisions in mind, and the requests of dozens of afficionados ringing in our ears, we are hosting a tasting night focused entirely on Gin, with a selection of fine options being opened to be explained, discussed and enjoyed. Book quickly as the gin craze is showing no signs of abating and places will fill quickly!
