Dancing Sands Distillery

My wife and I popped in during our quick visit to Takaka. We were very happy with our visit. One of the owners let us taste test a couple of the gins. We were so happy we decided to buy a box set for a family members Christmas present.

Fantastic host, thanks for taking the time to show us through the distillery. Loved your passion and knowledge. Delicious Gins, enjoyed them all. Would highly recommend stopping in.

Wish I could offer 100 stars and love to have one of these stores in Wellington with Gina as the store manager. We were looked after really really well and she is bloody awesome and we’re in love with Dancing Sands- THE BEST GIN IN THE COUNTRY. I can honestly assure you that you can’t find any better GIN place in the country, highly recommend this place and it’s worth the trip

We were able to sample most of the Gin selection before deciding to buy a bottle of Dry and Sauvignon Blanc Gin. It was a difficult decision as all were delicious...

On a recent trip to NZ, we stopped off in Takaka for a few days. One of the reasons was to visit Dancing Sands. We had heard that tours where not taking place at the moment, but we thought sampling the gin and making a purchase was always on the cards. We popped in and we were the only people there, the person we was talking to was very passionate about the role and told us all about the gin's and how they are made. So we did the tastings and made a purchase of a fantastic gin, as we were about to leave the guy offered us a private tour, I understand it was quiet and he might have had a bit of time on his hands. The whole gin process was explained and we were introduced to the stills, each have a name, sadly i can not remember them. But to I wanted to say thank you the guy for making the experience a fantastic one, and now back in the UK we have made further purchases of Dancing Sands gins.I hope we maybe able to return one day :)

Morning gin tasting - breakfast of champions! Lovely gin - recommend the dry and sauvignon blanc.
