Small batch artisan gin distillery at Kaikōura
Last week I attended the Enterprise North Canterbury business awards Gala. There were 7 businesses from Kaikōura who were finalists and attending the gala evening.. This was an award which I entered back in June… It was the first time I had made time to really get into the nuts and bolts of my business, …
Oh boy what a ride this has been over the last few days…. I spent the last week making sure I had every part of what I needed stocked up… just incase, because people tell you to be prepared, I hadn’t really expected what happened and was living in blissful ignorance of the potential that …

A few months ago Enterprise North Canterbury announced that for the first time these business awards were going to include Kaikōura businesses in it. I thought, why not I didn’t think I was particularly savy in this area and applying for these awards would serve to strengthen up my business objectives and plans. Over the …
Over the last year, I have been working hard with legislation and licencing to be able to offer tours, tastings and sales from the distillery. Once I had met all the criteria and my doors were open, it was a natural progression to then ensure that the foundations of the distillery and work that goes …
When I created this small business of mine, one of my visions was to give back to the local community by donating to worthy causes. It is with great delight that I can share with you that after a year of shearwater gin sales I have been able to donate just under $1500 to the …
As we develop in our lives and businesses, we broaden our knowledge, responsibilities, and commitment to looking after the great land we live on.
I feel a huge gratitude and responsibility to look after this land. I sustainably pick many botanicals throughout the year to use in my gins for you to enjoy.
I promise you that I utilise what I have within my backyard carefully, tread lightly, and take only what I need. By giving back to the community through donations, I try to balance out what I take with what I give.
Please also take this Tiaki promise on your journey and treat our beautiful country and planet carefully so it may be enjoyed for many generations to come.
