FAQs

Do you offer tastings?

We do! During opening hours you will always be able to taste small samples of our gins and chat with our team about the characteristics of each expression.

You can also book private tastings outside our opening hours. Just email info@papaitigin.co.nz and we'll find a time and a date that suits you.

Can we book you for our private function?

Yes you can. Just email info@papaitigin.co.nz and we'll sort out the details.

Do you charge for tastings?

No, we don't. After all, we want you to find the gin you like best and have a chance to try before you buy. 

Is Papaiti Gin vegan?

Yes, it is. We're using a base spirit made from sugar cane.

Do you offer distillery tours?

Not at the moment, but you can see all our stills and equipment from the retail area and we're happy to show you around and explain our setup.

What are your opening hours?

Our cellar door shop is generally open Wed-Fri 12-4, Saturday & Sunday 10am-3pm, and by appointment.

Sometimes we adjust our opening hours to allow for events, markets and private functions. In those cases we always aim to put up a notification in the header banner or on the main landing page of our website.
