Not Without You wine bar is the great new go-to on High Street. “’Always Aotearoa’ is our key phrase and the foundation of everything we do,” says co-owner Phillip Sunderland. “We love to support the local favourites, because we think people really do care where things are made.” With an industrial chic décor, Not Without You exudes quiet sophistication with a story that is uniquely Kiwi. Sunderland and business partner Helen Pfahlert are passionate about supporting Canterbury’s finest food makers and New Zealand wine and craft beer. The pair take pride in being patriotic, right down to the funky recycled kauri furniture that adorns the aesthetically pleasing space. Serving over 70 varieties of wine and more than 30 craft beers, the trendy establishment is also dishing up delectable fare with an evolving menu and tempting charcuterie, cheese and antipasto platters and decadent desserts. Located beside the Little High Eatery, dine inside or out on the patio. And the story doesn’t end there ... pop down to adjoining business DUAL (Sunderland’s and Stuart Montgomery’s baby) for a hit of the denim kind. Fashion and wine – a partnership made in heaven/New Zealand!
