Spirits made in Golden Bay, the long way, on purpose
At Dancing Sands, we make spirits the way they should be made. That means starting with real ingredients and nothing artificial, so the flavour in your glass is exactly what it claims to be.
We distil every drop here in Golden Bay, bottle it in recycled local glass, and send it to you in compostable packaging that will not end up in landfill. From the first pour to the last sip, every step is done with care for the planet, for the craft, and for the drink in your hand.
Come visit us in Tākaka, Golden Bay. We welcome visitors to our Cellar Door all year round.
