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.
Personalised Gifts
If you can't see something you like in our range of ready-to-go hampers and gifts, check out our personalised gifts section. If you're still not sure, give us a shout and we'll do everything we can to help.
Our Team
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 (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.
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.
She's French & Fabulous. You will find Camille in the shop today and busy with our social media posts and marketing tomorrow. When it comes to wine, she knows her grapes. Ooh, la la!
Eimantas makes your coffee just how you like it and will always be smiling and chatting. His wine recommendations are a slam dunk! You guessed it, he loves basketball too.
Tiernan doesn’t have far to travel to work as he lived just up the street. Be careful though, he’ll keep you chatting. Or maybe that’ll be the wine samples he hands out at the weekends.
Paddy is Mags' brother and this isn't his real job. Check out Patrick Jade online to see the maestro at work singing, strumming and drumming his way through the blues. He's also our man who get's everything from A to B and much much more. Thanks Paddy :)
What Our Customers Say About Us
Amazing experience here! Fantastic place full of local and Irish products that I'm more than happy to support. Guy at the tills was fantastic, super friendly, and happy to talk about the store and Portlaoise. Great spot for picking up gifts and grabbing a quick coffee. Will definitely be back and take people who visit to shop there too!
Good coffee, better wine! A superb collection that I would go out of my way to revisit and stock up on. This my latest purchase where I bought 1 to taste and went for a case!
Great place to check out in Portlaoise! Lovely selection of wine, cheese, and many more :) Great coffee also!
Amazing business with a fantastic team - so accommodating and responsive. Ordered a hamper as a gift and everyone was buzzing with the contents. Would highly recommend and will be sure to use them again!
