Hi there, we’re Steven and Valerie Askew, the current owners of New Zealand’s only Polish restaurant, Topor Bistro in beautiful Plimmerton, just north of Wellington City. Together, we have made a multiple award winning restaurant. We do this “thing” called vodka matching with our meals rather than wine matching. Basically we’ve done the hard work of testing the vodka with the food to make sure it plays off the palate nicely for maximum dining pleasure.
We used to spend a lot of time sourcing flavoured vodka from Poland and Europe. We ran into shipping issues and the supply became inconsistent. This didn’t sit well with us so we decided why not? Let’s have a crack at making our own infusions. The results have been spectacular!
These vodka infusions have been so well received at Topor Bistro that so many customers wanted to buy bottles to enjoy in their own homes. We have decided to make this a reality and out of that Topors Own was born.
What we offer is small batch, craft vodkas and liqueurs. A little something for everyone sweet or savoury vodka ranging from 24% to 40% depending on what you like.
Making cocktails and playful shots and combos just became a little bit more delicious!
