Customer Feedback

"Such a great idea - quick and easy, no mess (except for the toppings scattered all over my kitchen bench haha). Pizza's turned out crisp and tasty - YUM!"

"The couple who received this gift were over the moon with it and thought that it was a great gift. They loved all the things that were personalised and just couldn't get over what a unique gift this is. They are still talking about it and all the contractors were blown away as they all put in for the present. I think your company provides an excellent service for those who are hard to buy for - it made my life easier last year."

"This was the best possible gift I could have received... I am a coffee fan and can I tell you my taste buds were delighted by the selection of coffee I have tasted in this pack... not to mention my eyes amazed at the coffee machine!!! Watching the coffee dance was a sight to behold... a fantastic experience for any coffee lover."

"The service I received from Bon Vivant was fantastic! I was organising a last minute Christmas gift for my dad the Wednesday afternoon before Christmas and they didn't once say we couldn't possibly get it there on time. What they did was go out of there way to confirm the order details and get to the courier that afternoon. The gift arrived safely, on-time and was a success."

"The Bon Vivant coffee experience still has me buzzing with excitement. A fave for the moment is the Ethiopian, the perfect start to the day that leaves you feeling euphoric well after you have seen the bottom of your cup. Costa Rica is now the go and this is the great thing about Bon Vivant Gourmet, it enlightens you to many different and wonderful flavours and brings them to your door. Don't know about you - I love being able to open the door to a new world!"

"At first I was very unsure what to expect, after all, what is "unique" to one person may not be to another and I was a little afraid I might wind up with some VB's or something. When they arrived I was pleasantly surprised. The packaging and arrangement was better than expected, as were the extras. The documentation is very comprehensive and offers a lot of understanding about judging beers. So far, I have not tasted all the beers, however those I have tasted have been excellent. The range has been very good and I had not even seen a single brand of the beers offered before. So all up, I've had a unique experience and been very happy."

"I bought the Wine Appreciation Kit for my father for Father's Day and he absolutely loved it. He has told me the wines were fantastic and he found the booklet very interesting to read. He has always enjoyed wine but had little knowledge of the different varietals and general wine-making process. He told many of his friends about it and a number of them have actually asked to borrow the booklet! So it sounds like the perfect gift - he loved the wines, found the accompanying book very interesting, and also enjoyed passing on his new-found 'expertise' on wine to his friends! Thanks so much for providing such a fabulous service too - it arrived just in time for Father's Day."

"My order arrived in wonderful condition, I took it to my niece's home where we had the most enjoyable afternoon. The sampling was fun, and we loved the selection. Would recommend it to anyone . Looking forward to trying the imported cheeses."

"Firstly, I was absolutely delighted to see such a novel concept. Everyone wants to be able to host the perfect dinner party and you can end up spending a fortune on the right recipes, the right wines, the right techniques. This pack contained an extremely well thought out selection of wines and beautifully matched food at a great price. There were even wines in there such as Riesling that I didn't think I liked but the ones supplied were of such great quality that I found myself really enjoying them. I would highly recommend this to anyone as a gift for someone else (especially people who will invite you to dinner). Laurence's passion is evident from the moment the order is placed and his passion sits with you at the dinner table as you devour each dish and indulge in the delectable wine selection. Well done!! Great work to you and your team."

"A great gift idea - nice to try out beers one would not normally purchase. The information package was very interesting."

"I have enjoyed the range and variety of the pack, it has allowed me to sample and enjoy beers that I otherwise may have not experienced."

"It was a delightful gift and one which will give me ongoing pleasure. The beautifully presented gift pack is just superb and the wine is a delicious drop too. It is a thoughtful gift for anyone who has an interest in wine."

"I would just like to say thank you for the quick and efficient service I have received from your company. My boyfriend received the beers as it was a gift from me to him and he is too scared to open them as they look too good on his bar. The packaging was good and nothing was broken. All the paper work that came with it was fantastic, also, as there were lots of things I did not know about beer, I just thought my boyfriend liked it and it made him happy. We are both truly happy with service and the product so thank you muchly."

"The course increased my appreciation in unexpected ways. I have always been an olive lover but now I am absolutely converted to the wonders olive oil can bring. This was truly an excellent course."

"I found the service to be helpful, personalized and very friendly with an eye for detail that you don't often find in large companies."

"Living in rural Australia it is difficult to source innovative gifts. Bon Vivant offered a great product that was truly different and kept their promise of 'city levels of customer service!"

"The boutique beer tasting kit was a great hit with my husband - the perfect gift! What man doesn't love his beer? And he'll never know it was a last minute gift because it arrived within a couple of days right to our door!"

"I ordered this as a gift for my brother in law. He loved it and was giggling away with the amusing commentary sheet that was enclosed. It had a good selection of beers of which most he hadn't tried before. Excellent stuff."

"I bought the beer tasting course as a Christmas present for a friend who is quite fond of the old ale. The presentation and packaging was great and he has thoroughly enjoyed the beer while finding the notes interesting and fun."

"The gourmet beers were great & the efforts of the Bon Vivant staff in making sure I received the delivery was very much appreciated."

"I think the concept is great and the opportunity to learn more about each style is something my partner and I appreciate."

"I received the Boutique Beers and thought - wow I can't wait to try them. Totally enjoyed the experience and I actually cannot drink standard beer again. It certainly is a great gift."

"Terrific presentation of the products and truly a rewarding gift."

"We received this as a present and were very impressed. There was so much cheese we invited friends over. They were also very impressed and we ended up having a wonderful night. Will definitely consider giving this as a present to other friends."

"Have thoroughly enjoyed the wine and cheese experience. It has given me a fuller understanding of putting together the right wine with the right cheese. Some of the suggested combinations I would never have paired. I am now spending more on cheese. Many thanks for your Bon Vivant course."

"Thoroughly enjoyable! The ability to enjoy the presented blends and create a unique blend through mixture was fantastic. I would definitely recommend this experience to those wishing to produce a great coffee at home!"

"Excellent compact machine, simple to use. Great tasting coffee. Very easy to clean. Excellent, excellent, excellent."

"The Wine appreciation course was fun, easy to understand and a great hit with my dinner guests!"

"I would definitely consider purchasing other courses from Bon Vivant and can recommend the experience to anyone!"

"The course arrived on time, the content exceeded my expectations in terms of the detail in the course, and we are still making our way through it!"

"We can make our way through the wines at our own pace, which is important due to our busy lifestyle and enjoy the wines at a time that suits us."

"Your service has been excellent so I hope that the courses are a success for you!"

"Bought as a gift for a 40th b'day. Well rec'd and enjoyed by recipient. Great gift, great idea. Thanks".

"Love it, my family loves it, it's fantastic! Never had a quick and easy way of making pizzas before. In minutes we have a crispy, tasty pizza and I've used it every weekend since receiving it. Thankyou for delivering it so quickly."

"Just a quick note to say, thanks for the prompt service - the Beer kit arrived before I left for work this morning and I was able to give it to my partner when he woke up - I have never seen him so excited about a gift in our 6 years together. Thanks for a winning gift."

"Both, the cheese and the beer course were most excellent! I couldn't fault them in any way and would recommend your products to the most fastidious gourmet anywhere in the world. Thank you very much!"

"That the selection and quality of cheese and wine were impeccable. The organisation of the manual was well laid out and easy to follow. Personally I have never been a wine drinker, but after the Bon Vivant Experience I have new appreciation for the different wines from around our fair country. The whole experience was well worth it and enjoyable to all who gathered to share the experience. Thank you!!!"

My champagne and glasses came quickly! It was well packaged and I was impressed with not only the quality of the champagne but also the Bodum flutes."
