Our Story

We are Heresto Vodka based out of New Zealand. An exceptionally giving Vodka company. Our founder Fraser had the courage to start Heresto Vodka out of his brothers garage in Ashburton, New Zealand. Today we have aligned with industry leading professionals to bring our Spirit to life! We produced the concept and product of Heresto Vodka, to really say “here’s to” to the world. We have partnered with three leading charities – Women’s Refuge and NZ Flying Doctors Service and I Am Hope, to aid in their funding efforts. $2.00 per bottle sold is donated to these charities every 12 months, creating passive donations off consumable products. We created Heresto, to be the drink we’ve always been searching for – something refreshingly uncomplicated and honest. Life is complicated enough as it is, selecting a perfect vodka shouldn’t be. From the first round to the last round; Heresto is a smooth and versatile vodka that’s as delicious as it is unpretentious. That makes it the perfect companion for all occasions, and all people. Today the business is striving forward in New Zealand through our National manager Mia, and strategic distribution and sales partners.

The New Zealand Flying Doctor Service could not provide critical care patient services between hospitals without the generous support from our community. We need to raise over $3m per annum to sustain this critical air ambulance service. Make a life-saving difference today by making a donation.

I Am Hope

One of the universal experiences as a human being is that sticky feeling that you are not good enough. We call this the inner critic. Despite being a daily challenge for everyone, it is also one of the most isolating experiences we all suffer and hide. I Am Hope’s job is to reduce the barriers to this kōrero through our own vulnerable stories and show them that they are valued, and this critic is both normal and manageable.
