Craft Spirit Distilling Experiences

Forged from a passion for craft distilling and a desire to share that with others. We offer experiences where you learn to distil and appreciate craft spirits with an emphasis of having a whole lot of fun along the way.

With a variety of options, events can include distilling demos, gin tastings and gin-inspired food. We’re also gearing up launch a Gin and Spiced Rum School, where you get to make, label and take home your own blend using a traditional alembic copper still. There are also gardens to explore and alpacas to visit at our modern barn-style venue here in Coatesville, a North Auckland rural paradise.
