Ever wondered what it really takes to make a beautiful bottle of gin?

This is your opportunity to step inside Whanganui’s craft distillery, enjoy a welcome G&T, and spend an afternoon learning the art and science of distillation from the ground up.

Your experience begins with a guided distillery tour, where you’ll learn about our stills, our process, and the role botanicals play in shaping flavour. From there, it’s time to create.

You’ll be introduced to a wide range of botanicals and guided through the process of designing your own recipe. You’re welcome to bring a botanical of your own if there’s a flavour you’re particularly drawn to. Once your recipe is set, you’ll distil your gin on one of our four small copper alembic stills, with our master distiller Adrian guiding you throughout.

Each participant crafts and takes home their own 700ml bottle of gin.

We cap each public session at four participants so that everyone has their own still and a truly hands-on experience. Larger groups are welcome, but will share stills and develop recipes together. If you’re booking for four or more people, please contact us directly via email to arrange your session.

We keep all recipes on file, so if you fall in love with your creation, you can reorder it in the future.

Approximately 3 to 3.5 hours

I really enjoyed the class

I really enjoyed the class, it was informative very relaxed which I liked. Was a cool experience

The best class ever!

My friend and I did this class as we were new to the world of gin production. It is SO GOOD! We learnt so much - Adrian was incredibly generous with his knowledge and time. And it’s in a gorgeous location on the Whanganui River. And we walked away with a bottle of our very own delicious gin. Spend the weekend in exploring gorgeous Whanganui - but this will be your highlight!

Such a fun and engaging environment

We both loved this class! Adrian is a wealth of gin knowledge and made it fun and easy to follow the crafting process. Picking our botanicals from the huge collection was the hardest part. Totally rate this, worth the money and would definitely do it again. Only small suggestion would be some cheese and crackers to break up the gin sampling :)

Awesome activity in Whanganui

Brought my mother, who is visiting from overseas, and had an amazing time. The gin tasting was great, and I loved the way Nikki took us through the stories behind the flavours of all the gins. Then we got to pick our own flavours, which was a blast. Again, Nikki was great - encouraging us to experiment but also providing guidance about what would go together and amount. The whole process was fun and fascinating and love that we each left with a special bottle of gin. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience!

Totally unsure what to expect, we were absolutely thrilled with our gin-making session.
From start to finish it was “our” gin that we were making and the bonus was that we absolutely love the finished article.
