Lind & Lime Gin make one thing, and they do it very well. They set out to create the very definition of what a London Dry Gin should be; to do something very simple, but do it to perfection. Lind & Lime Gin is forged from the talent, heritage and industry of Edinburgh and its historic distilling district of Leith.

Bosco del Merlo, founded in 1977 in Annone Veneto, when Valentino Paladin realised his dream of creating wines from sustainable practices that best express the potential and identity of the territory. This innovative vision has been pursued for generations and today the wines are born in the territories of Eastern Veneto and Western Friuli, bringing together the knowledge of winemaking with the values of Italian artistic culture. Bosco del Merlo donate’s part of its Prosecco DOC Rosè proceeds to the Italian not for profit association LILT, that aim to prevent breast cancer.

Castello Bonomi, is found on the slopes of the natural amphitheatre of Mount Orphan, and is the only Château in the Franciacorta area. The Castello Bonomi estate takes its name from the original Art Nouveau building designed by the architect Antonio Tagliaferri at the end of the XIX century. With ancient cellars and traditional long ageing process, Castello Bonomi is a wonderful microcosm producing unique Franciacorta giving back to the roots.

Bodegas Hildago established in 1792, Bodegas Hidalgo is one of the oldest sherry producers in existence, it is widely regarded as the deﬁnitive Manzanilla House. Passing down from generation to generation, continuity and quality have always been the most important themes for the company, which today uses only grapes from their own vineyards in Jérez Superior.
