Real Food & Wine - from families, not factories
Hi! We're Tony and Margaret, a brother and sister team with a simple goal - to curate the best range of gourmet food and wine for you.
We love to find hidden gems from artisan Irish producers and sustainable family winemakers.
Thankfully, we never get tired of doing the "research". You guessed it, that's what we call tasting lots of samples. Yay!
We create Connections
We're the "middle woman"
Sourcing unique sustainable gifts for those who love gourmet and artisan wine and food.
Supporting small family and local producers, farmers and artists who produce high quality products in a sustainable and ethical way.
Delivering personalised gifts to your loved ones.
Giving Back
Every time you shop with us, we give 5 school meals to hungry children around the world, through the organisation Mary’s Meals. You can find out more on Our Mission page.
Sustainability
We are eco conscious (obviously) so we use a zero emission shipping service…anywhere in Ireland and Northern Ireland. There's no plastic packaging in our hampers and gifts either (fist bump) 👊
Family First
We love to support small family and local producers, farmers and artists who produce the best products in a sustainable and ethical way. In this way we deliver unique and personalised gifts to your loved ones…it is a win win!!
Wine Happiness Guarantee
We want you to love our wines so if you're not happy, get in touch and we'll do everything we can to make you happy.
Hand Roasted Coffee
All our coffee beans are ethically sourced and Rainforest Alliance Certified. Roasted in Ireland by Master Artisan Roasters the traditional way, by using their senses - watching, listening, smelling, and tasting every batch.

Our Family
Tony
Tony’s passion for great wine, coffee and food makes him the perfect person to source the amazing products featured in the shop and online.
Tony wears all the hats - you could find him making coffee, packing boxes or pouring concrete! He says "variety is the spice of life".
Margaret
Margaret (Tony’s sister), is firmly at the helm in the shop. She's the chatty one who makes it all look easy while still running a tight ship.
She's also the "Queen of Hampers" who knows exactly how your special gift should be presented.
Mags
Yes, another Margaret. Tony's partner this time. We told you we're a family business!
Mags is like the Wizard of Oz, pulling the levers behind the curtain, to make the magic happen out front.
Camille
She's French & Fabulous. Camille has been with us so long she is part of the family. When it comes to wine, she knows her grapes. Ooh, la la!
Our G&B Team
Our G&B family ebbs and flows as the seasons change with lots of extended family coming to the rescue for Christmas Hamper Season.
Thank you all. We couldn't do it without you.

Super coffee and great selection of excellent wines and hampers reasonably priced. Staff very helpful. Will be back!
