Auckland Food Expo Recap

18 March 2026

A few days on from the Auckland Food Expo and we’re still feeling the buzz.

It was genuinely great to meet so many of you – from long-time customers who’ve been ordering online for years, to people discovering Volare for the first time (and walking away with a bag of bread under their arm). That mix never gets old.

One thing came through loud and clear: “When are you opening a store in Auckland?”

We heard it a lot. No promises just yet – but we’re listening. In the meantime, don’t forget we’re already up your way with home delivery and through a solid network of stockists doing a great job of keeping shelves full.

Table full of Volare freshly baked bread and pastries.

The expo itself was slick. Well run, well attended, and full of people who care about good food. Big thanks to the organisers for putting on a strong event.

And as always, one of the best parts – getting off our own stand and seeing what everyone else is up to. There’s a lot of good stuff happening out there.

To everyone who came by, had a chat, tried a sample, or left with a loaf – thanks for being part of it. It made the weekend what it was.
