Giapo goodness comes to Voyager

Some exciting news for the school holidays, Voyager is about to get our very own Gelato flavour to celebrate the museum being FREE for Aucklanders! Voyager is proudly supported by the ratepayers of Auckland, and our free admission initiative continues our invitation to Aucklanders to discover how our maritime heritage has contributed to the development of Aotearoa.

Thanks to our good friend Gianpaolo Grazioli and the team Giapo Gelato we will be launching the Voyager - Black Magic gelato at the museum on Friday 16 July at 12.30pm. We'll be giving away free samples of Voyager - Black Magic to the first 100 lucky visitors, so make sure you head on down to Voyager and try some.

The gelato is named Black Magic after NZL 32 the mighty yacht on which Team New Zealand led by Sir Peter Blake won the America's Cup in San Diego in 1995. NZL 32 is now the centrepiece of Voyager's magnificent exhibition Blue Water Black Magic - A Tribute to Sir Peter Blake which is well worth a visit these school holidays.

This very special gelato has been lovingly crafted by Gianpaolo and his team using nothing but the very best organic ingredients and is a delicious blend of chocolate and licorice that expresses the explorative spirit of our seafaring nation.

For those of you who cannot make the launch event you can get Voyager - Black Magic from Giapo Gelato which is located on Queen Street next to the Civic Theatre. I recommend the take home pack for a yummy treat for the whole family. Giapo pride themselves on making genuine Italian gelato using nothing but the very finest in organic ingredients......and best of all it's absolutely delicious!

We look forward to seeing you on Friday :-)
