Gin Crafting Experience with Papaiti Gin

Please note: Class schedule and prices will change slightly from 1 June 2024. For all classes to take place after 1 June 2024, please click here.

Ever thought about making your own gin? Here's your opportunity: take a peak behind the scenes of Whanganui's first Craft Gin Distillery and learn everything there is about botanicals, distilling and, of course, crafting gin.

This is as hands-on as it gets: you'll be introduced to a wide range of botanicals (and can even bring your own, if you have a special flavour in mind), pick your own mix and learn how to use a 5l copper still. And yes, you definitely get to take home your very own bottle of gin. Our master distiller Adrian will guide you through the whole process. 

Please note: we're working with two small copper stills, Luna & Sputnik, allowing for two participants per still. 

Location: All classes will take place in our Papaiti Gin Distillery, 454 State Highway 4, Upokongaro/Whanganui

Duration: Classes will take about 2.5 hours. 

Preparation: You don't need to prepare at all, but if you want you can bring botanicals you'd like to use with you and already think about what you would like your gin to taste like before your class.

Cost:
1 participant: $180.00
2 participants: $270.00
3 participants: $350.00
4 participants: $420.00
