Welcome to the Beverage Bureau.

If you’re in the business of selling beverages, the Beverage Bureau is in the business of helping you do it.

We’re a bespoke wine and food sales agency based in the Martinborough wine village and run by husband-and-wife team Nick and Anna Hewitt.

We differentiate ourselves by offering second-to-none service to our clients on both sides of the trade, connecting our portfolio of unique brands with retailers and hospitality businesses around the North Island of New Zealand.

But the Beverage Bureau does more than make sales. By offering sommelier services, wine list consultation, staff training and wine appreciation coaching, we help hospitality businesses and retailers confidently choose, understand and sell wine and speciality food products to their customers.

For restaurants, hotels, bars, cafés and retailers, you and your staff can feel confident in the products you’re selling.

For the producers we represent, it means trusting that your story gets told and wine gets sold the right way.
