Pistachio Perfection: Venchi’s Iconic Gelato to Try During Vivid Sydney

Pistachio gelato might just be Italy in a scoop, and Venchi’s version is as close to the real deal as it gets. Crafted with fresh milk, sugar, and prized Green Pistachios from Bronte in Italy, it’s a masterclass in simplicity done right. Rich, nutty, and impossibly creamy, this one melts in your mouth and lingers in your memory. Even better? You can grab a scoop during Vivid Sydney (running until June 14th), making it the ultimate treat while soaking up the city’s lights, music, and magic.

Bravo® Apples Are the Winter Snack Stealing the Spotlight

With their striking burgundy skin and crisp white flesh, Bravo® apples are the fruit aisle’s newest showstopper, and they’re having their East Coast moment. Grown by 85 passionate Aussie producers across five states and celebrated for their sweet crunch, antioxidant-rich skin, and long shelf life, these beauties don’t just look good, they taste incredible too. Originally bred in Western Australia, the apples stay white long after slicing, making them a go-to for snacking, salads, and baking alike. Look for Bravo® apples from May to December in all good produce retailers; your fruit bowl will thank you.

Pana Organic’s Better-For-You Hot Chocolate

As the chill sets in, there’s no better time to curl up with a rich, warming cup of hot chocolate—and Pana Organic has nailed the brief. Their Hot Chocolate blend strikes the perfect balance between richness and sweetness, formulated with 52% organic cacao powder derived from whole cacao beans. Whether it’s morning, afternoon, or a late-night wind-down, this comforting blend is made to be enjoyed any time of day. Available at local grocery and independent stores nationwide.

Triple-Distilled Sips From Glow Up Cocktails

Bringing cocktail bar vibes to your fridge, Glow Up is the canned cocktail brand shaking up your next picnic, dinner party, or night in with the girls. Made in Australia using triple-distilled vodka and all-natural Aussie fruit juices, these ready-to-drink sips are sippable—vegan, gluten-free, and preservative-free for a clean, elevated experience. Choose from three signature blends: a playful French Martini with hints of pineapple and black raspberry; the floral and flirty Lychee Martini with rosewater and elderflower; or the Cosmopolitan with native Davidson Plum for a bold Aussie twist. Just shake, pour, and glow.

HOXTON Spirits Land in Australia

Founded by mixologist Gerry Calabrese, the brand takes a bold, fruit-forward approach to spirits, infusing premium gin, rum, and whisky with vibrant, naturally sourced flavours.
