Kiwi Spirit Distillery is a family-owned distillery at 430 Abel Tasman Drive in Motupipi, Golden Bay. The site covers six acres, with a cellar door and gardens and orchards that supply some of the ingredients. The distillery makes TeKiwi, a tequila-style spirit from New Zealand-grown blue agave, and Waitui Whisky, a New Zealand single malt, along with cocktail sets. The website says the spirits won seven medals at the 2026 New Zealand Spirits Awards.
Visitors can join guided tastings led by the team, or visit the cocktail and tapas bar, which serves cocktails, food, wine and beer. The menu includes an espresso martini with notes of Jaffa and coffee cake. Visitors must be 18 or over, and the distillery ships to Australia within limits.
