DISTILLERIES

With distilleries from New Zealand and around the world, this festival is sure to tantalize your taste buds with a variety of flavors and aromas.

Kiwi Spirit Distillery

Kiwi Spirits Distillery believes good taste is good for the soul. They are a family owned and operated distillery redefining what quality means. They specialise in unique spirits handcrafted from the purest homegrown ingredients. With a family history of decades of distilling they’re staunchly dedicated to quality over quantity.

They live and breathe local, almost all of our ingredients come from our region and some they even grow ourselves in the gardens and orchards at our 25 acre distillery and cellar door. They are a creative bunch who love nothing more than experimenting, creating new tastes and pushing the limits on what is possible. Heart and soul goes into everything they make and they are proud to share what they have created with you.

Rifters

Rifters are makers of multi award winning premium gins, housed in the Arrowtown hills. They use flavourful local botanicals and pure New Zealand artesian water. A Rifter is much like that of a forager or a fossicker from the early gold mining era; they explored the rifters around the hills of Arrowtown, searching for that elusive nugget. At the end of a long day, a refreshing gin was always welcomed.

Twelfth Hour Gin

Born from their desire to fuse fresh, tantalizing, exotic botanicals from around the globe with premium New Zealand gin. Small batch distilled with exotic makrut (kaffir lime) for a revitalizing taste, Twelfth Hour Dry Gin is made by our group of friends for you to share with yours - whether they are in New Zealand or any other corner of the world.
With many nights spent working well past the midnight hour (aka the Twelfth Hour) they hope that with every sip you can taste our love of spices, flavour and premium quality gin.
