Gin Distillery
From the HQ in Napier, they distill gin, vodka, rum and whisky from their state-of-the-art copper stills. They source the highest quality ingredients from around our beautiful country and the world, hand selecting and blending to create spirits which tell stories. And they've opened their doors to the public for you to come in and learn about their process and products in person.
What: There are 2 options.
1) Blending - A tour of the distillery and a tasting to hone your botanical skills while being taught the art of blending by one of their distillers. You will then get to blend your very own 700ml bottle of gin to take home with you.
2) Tour and Tasting - You will receive a welcome drink and a heritage tour of the building with history of the tobacco factory. A behind the scenes tour of the distillery with one of their talented distillers to see where the magic happens, followed by a guided flight of four gins (or rum or vodka) plus one mixer.
Special Rotary rate: Blending = $99pp / Tour and Tasting = $70pp
Timings: 2pm – 4pm
Max Availability: 22 for Blending and 40 for Tour and Tasting

Beach Clean up
Our group will be hosted by the National Aquarium of New Zealand to clean up litter along an area of Napier’s Marine Parade. The Aquarium is a participant in the nationwide litter intelligence programme that will involve us as “citizen scientists” collecting and categorising litter from the beachfront, contributing to a national database. The staff will give an insight into what type of litter is found on our beaches and how we could form our own monitoring sites becoming citizen scientists to help solve the problem of marine litter.
Grab Bags Emergency Kit Assembly
Our recent history has shown that environmental disasters can hit us at any time and happen more frequently. There is an awareness in the community that we need to be prepared, but don’t always know how.
Grab Bags is a Rotary First Light Community Group Growth Plan project meeting this need by providing emergency kits to families in the disaster-prone areas of Hawkes Bay and Tairawhiti.
We invite you to participate in the assembly of the bags at avenue near the Napier Conference Centre. Hear how our local Rotary Clubs have come together to make this project a reality and the opportunities for the project to be replicated in other regions. Enjoy the chance to fill emergency kits with essential items ready for distribution to vulnerable families.
