All orders are shipped either same day or the next day. In New Zealand expect 1-2 days for delivery North and South Island, 2-3 days for rural addresses.

Australia deliveries take from 7-14 days.

Delivery and tracking details will be provided direct to your email.

We currently ship to New Zealand and Australia.

Shipping to Australia is a flat fee of NZ$20. Please note that this shipping fee does not cover any inbound customs duties that may be applied by Australia Customs when the package arrives in Australia – these will need to be paid for by the purchaser.

Unfortunately we do not currently ship our products through the website to other countries due to high shipping costs.  Contact us at info@dancingsands.com if you have a specific request for an international shipment and we’ll provide you a quote.

Unfortunately, even if you have an authority to leave set up couriers will often not leave alcohol unattended. If you're not home, a card will be left and you'll need to collect it from your local sorting office or rearrange delivery.

We sure do, and there is no extra shipping cost for rural addresses.

We focus on real ingredients, thoughtful production, and small-batch distilling. Every spirit is made to stand on its own with no shortcuts and no unnecessary additions.

No, nope, noooo. Our spirits are made using only real botanicals, fruits and spices. We don’t use artificial flavourings in any of our products.

All Dancing Sands spirits are distilled and bottled by our team in Golden Bay, New Zealand. You can come and visit us at our Cellar Door in Tākaka.

Small batch means we distil in small runs, allowing us to closely manage quality, flavour, and consistency at every stage.

Distilled spirits are generally considered gluten free due to the distillation process, and our base spirit is certified gluten free. However, if you have specific dietary concerns, we recommend checking individual product details or contacting us for more information.

Our bottles are made by Visy glass in Auckland, out of recycled glass. The recycled glass comes from Aucklands kerbside glass collection.

Our bottles are made in New Zealand using recycled and transition glass, which is when the glass plant is changing over from one colour glass to another. In our case from blue glass to clear. Slight variations in colour are a natural result of this process and something we embrace as part of reducing waste.

We use sustainable packaging where possible in our products, including all natural corks/stoppers (no varnish or stains), labels made out of post consumer waste, and boxes that are FSC certified.

Our tamper seals (a regulatory requirement) are unfortunately made out of PET. We are still looking for a shelf stable compostable alternative.

Yes! We work directly with on-premise and retail customers across New Zealand. Please check out our trade page for more info and we'll get in touch.

We sure do. We offer larger 5L and 20L format options for selected products, suitable for on-premise use. These are a great way to reduce your pour cost and glass wastage and are loved by many bars and restaurants across New Zealand. Get in touch for more info.
