The Distillery is a bar and working craft distillery on Drews Avenue in Whanganui Central, holding a 4.7-star rating from 11 reviews.
A visit pairs a cocktail bar and tasting cellar with seasonal cocktails, local wines, craft beers, and bar snacks, alongside spirits crafted by independent makers Papaiti Gin and Good Bones Distilling. Guests can book hands-on gin-crafting experiences, explore cellar door releases, or browse bottles at the on-site retail shop. When visiting a boutique distillery bar, asking about seasonal pours or how botanical profiles are blended often unlocks subtle flavour pairings that standard bar menus overlook.
It provides an engaging spot to sample small-batch New Zealand spirits right in central Whanganui.
