Every gin tells a story
Small-batch, New Zealand-made gins inspired by the places and people around us.
Crafted from scratch in Whanganui, each bottle invites you to slow down, share a story, and savour the moment.
The Storyteller's Collection
At Papaiti Gin, every expression begins with a blank page — not a base recipe.
From wild bush trails to kitchen gardens, ocean edges to orchard rows, our gins are inspired by the land and the stories we share on it.
These aren’t just spirits — they’re conversations waiting to happen.
