Love Real Food? Treat the team to a Sabato experience

Please join us & our old friends from Sabato - when we say old we are referring to the time we have know each other not our wrinkles.

Jacqui & her passionate team are the perfect mix for us to work alongside….so please do join us for a foodie experience at your next team time.

Team Taste Experiences

Our experience’s are a chance for your team to pick up some insider tips and tricks of the trade from NZ's best known chefs and food writers, and our own knowledgeable staff. Classes typically last for one hour, although sometimes they can run for one and a half hours.

Enjoy hors d'oeurves and a glass of wine or two as you walk in the door, and then take your seat for the demonstration. Our Sabato Basics classes focus on one or two dishes in depth. Enjoy tasting plates of the dishes prepared, and feel free to ask the presenters questions as they occur to you. Recipes will be provided on the night, and we are open late for shopping after the class.

For you that need to know more….what is Sabato

Sabato, a specialist gourmet business founded by Jacqui and Philip Dixon, has been sourcing and introducing superb ingredients to New Zealand since 1993. Initially based in their home garage, 18 years later Sabato is now a showroom, commercial kitchen and trade premises in Mount Eden, Auckland. Their focus is mainly on artisan quality food from Europe alongside a selection of superior New Zealand products. Many of Sabato’s European suppliers are family-owned operations who add generations of knowledge and tradition to their products. Fine Italian, Spanish and French products feature strongly within a stellar line up at their showroom and have grown an appreciative and loyal following. Their vast selection is a treasure trove of inspiration for foodies and is extremely comprehensive. Unique in its selection and presentation you can actually taste many of these delicious items as you wind your way through the showroom – accompanied by knowledgeable advice, free recipes – and a complimentary Allpress coffee.
