Huge shoutout to Mel, James & Stuart for being absolute legends at our very first Spirits Festival.

Honestly couldn’t have done it without you three. So grateful for all the support, laughs, long days, and teamwork. 🙌❤️

Massive thank you to everyone who came through to taste, share feedback, and support us. The love has been unreal, and meeting so many awesome people made the weekend even more special.

And a big thanks to the festival organisers for putting together such an epic event. Our first one done and dusted, feeling very grateful. What a weekend. 🤩

🌿✨ Matakana in a Bottle ✨🌿

Crafted on the coast, inspired by the land.
Every sip of Matakana Gin carries the aroma of local citrus, the depth of hand-selected botanicals, and the purity of artesian water drawn 170m beneath our feet.

From Omaha Beach’s rolling surf to the lush hills that surround our still, we bottle the essence of where we live — and the place we love.

Small-batch. Locally sourced. Made with heart.

🍋🌸 Raise a glass to Matakana.

A Toast to Art and Community” 🎨

Again a huge thank you to everyone who joined us at The Vintry for our label reveal evening — what an incredible night celebrating art and community. 🍸✨

A special thank you to Tom Leuschke for creating the stunning artwork that inspired our new Matakana Gin label, and to Graham for your generous winning bid in the silent auction. 🙌

Thanks to your support, we’ve raised funds for a local Matakana school art department, keeping the spirit of giving and creativity close to home. 💛

Here’s to the people who make Matakana so special — where local art, flavour, and friendship come together. 🌊
