Dancing Sands Distillery

We want to show you our unfair advantage: our water. The clearest springs in the world, Dancing Sands Spring and Te Waikoropupu Springs are measured to be 81 metres clear. Each bottle of Dancing Sands gin is blended with the water from the aquifer that feeds Dancing Sands Spring allowing us to make the best possible gin and perfect its taste. Quality is at the centre of everything we do. Dancing Sands has an obligation to make beautiful products that mirror our surroundings. We relentlessly focus on quality through the entire product lifecycle – starting from the water that feeds the clearest spring in the world, to the ingredients that we hand select, to the glass bottles we import from France. When your quality standard is unrivaled, you make unrivaled products.

Went to Dancing Sands Distillery for gin tasting. Definitely worth the visit if you like gin. Some really different flavors like sauvignon blanc and bourbon gins! Very informative and welcoming staff.

I have just had a hot stone massage treatment here and it was the best massage I have had in a long time. I have had many massages in my life and this is tops. Friendly polite and made to feel welcome in the garden sanctuary.

We were out cycling and came across this awesome gallery of sculptures in a beautiful garden. The artists Toy and Kas were delightful to converse with and very helpful. They are bringing our large piece up to Auckland when they do deliveries later.

Popped in on a rainy day and absolutely loved it. Our host Melissa was all you could ask for, friendly, knowledgeable and such a good laugh! The liquor these guys produce is amazing, as to illustrate.... I accidentally broke a bottle of gin when I got home and my online order was in 5 minutes later for my replacement along with another cheeky bottle of liqueur! A definite must do in Golden Bay even if just for a bit of banter with Melissa, I can assure you though you will not leave without a bottle!

...on a grey & rainy day. Delicious coffee & scones while reminiscing prompted by so many wonderful curios. Quirky & memorable. Great example of family business; example local!
