Ben Bonoma

Ben is the creative force behind Dancing Sands, taking ideas and turning them into award-winning Gin. Ben creates all our Gin recipes – entirely from scratch. When Ben and Sarah bought a copper still off Trade Me Ben had no experience crafting anything, let alone spirits. Ben was once a tech consultant for big consulting firms but was also itching to get away from the 9-5 grind. Once Ben met Sarah he knew he’d found his ultimate team mate, and what they could accomplish together would be so much more than they could do alone. Ben doesn’t wind down so much as wind up: he’s an early 4.30am riser and likes to start his day with a mountain bike ride or trip to the gym.
