Hospitality/Thirst magazine, published by Mediaweb, has been the voice of New Zealand’s bar, restaurant and hotel industries since 1967.
This stylish magazine provides insight into these dynamic sectors through the latest food, beer, wine and spirits news and trends, expert opinions and columns, coverage of key events, key industry profiles and issue-based features.

Hospitality is dedicated to the food industry by helping New Zealand’s culinary, service and accommodation professionals run their hospitality businesses. Hospitality features news items and more in-depth articles on the latest trends here and overseas as well as opinion pieces from the Restaurant Association (RANZ), Hospitality Association (Hospitality NZ), Chefs Association, Service Association of New Zealand (SPANZ) and Hospitality Standards Institute (HSI).

Thirst is an innovative section of the magazine dedicated to the beverage industry. Each month, Thirst features the latest news and happenings in the New Zealand beverage industry, and wines from Cameron Douglas (wine judge, lecturer and Advanced Level Sommelier with Masters in Service) and Peter Saunders, who has been a wine writer, judge and educator for four decades.

Our online presence ensures readers receive daily updates and news as it happens while the magazine delivers all the latest news and more in-depth features to you monthly.

Wendy grew up in Napier, but decided at an early age she was destined to be an international woman of mystery. So she left, and has since lived in Hong Kong, England, France and Italy. When she’s not working on Hospitality magazine, Wendy’s into seriously good food and wine, music, (is hopelessly addicted to Pink Martini), the Coromandel, and travelling the globe in search of the next Pink Martini concert.
