Visit our Cellar Door

Nestled in the heart of Tākaka, our cellar door is where the magic happens and we’d love to share it with you.

Come and explore where our award-winning spirits are made. From the viewing window, you can see our still in action and get a behind-the-scenes glimpse into how we craft each batch. Our team is always happy to talk you through the range, answer any questions, and offer free tastings so you can discover your favourite.

Whether you’re just passing through or planning your Golden Bay adventure, this is a stop worth making.

Opening hours

Mon - Thu 10AM-4PM

Parking

There’s plenty of parking in the public carpark directly behind the distillery, and our cellar door is wheelchair-accessible.



Shop while you’re here


You can purchase any of our spirits, gift packs, or merch right here at the cellar door.

It’s a great way to take a taste of Golden Bay home — or pick up something for the weekend.
