Looking for a New Zealand distillery to make spirits for your brand? Geraldine Distillery — the maker of award-winning Humdinger gin — can craft a range for you: our own distilled gin, plus spiced rum and flavoured whisky. Put your label on a proven recipe, commission something bespoke, or partner with us to make and bottle your own product to sell.

Three ways to work with us

Your label, our spirit

Put your branding on one of our proven recipes — starting with our award-winning gin. The fastest, lowest-commitment route: corporate gifts, hospitality house pours, events, and exclusive retail lines.

A bespoke recipe

Want something that's truly yours? We'll develop a unique spirit to your brief — a distilled gin, or a spiced rum or flavoured whisky — and make it to order. A signature no one else can sell.

Contract distilling

For drinks brands and founders: we make and bottle your product to sell, at a genuine award-winning distillery — our distilled gin, plus spiced rum and flavoured whisky.

Who we make for

  • Drinks brands & founders needing a contract distilling or production partner
  • Businesses wanting standout corporate gifts & client thank-yous
  • Bars, restaurants & venues wanting their own house pour
  • Weddings & events wanting a personalised bottle
  • Retailers after an exclusive, own-label line

Why Geraldine Distillery

We're not a label on someone else's liquid — we're a real, hands-on distillery in Geraldine, South Canterbury, the gateway to adventure.

Best known for our award-winning gin, with gold medals at the NZ Spirits Awards, Junipers and NZ Small Batch Gin Awards, we distil our gin in-house, craft spiced rum and flavoured whisky, and grow our own fruit at New Zealand's only sloe orchard.

When you make with us, you get genuine provenance and craft your customers can taste.

Frequently asked questions

What's the minimum order?

If you're using one of our existing recipes, we can work to any order size.

For a bespoke recipe, the smallest batch is 220 × 700ml in our own bottles — or around 1,000 × 700ml (one pallet) if you'd like a different stock bottle from Saverglass or another supplier.

How long does custom or contract gin take?

Around 2–3 months if we're bottling one of our existing recipes, or 6+ months for a fully bespoke recipe we develop with you. For pre-Christmas corporate orders, get in touch early.

Do you do contract distilling for other brands?

Yes. We make and bottle spirits for other brands to sell. One of these has even won a gold medal at the London Spirits Awards.

Can you create a recipe from scratch?

Yes. We'll develop a bespoke spirit to your brief and make it to order, or you can start from one of our proven, medal-winning recipes.

Do you make spirits other than gin?

Yes. Alongside the gin we distil in-house, we craft spiced rum and flavoured whisky — tell us what you have in mind and we'll let you know what's possible.

Do I supply the label artwork?

You can supply your own print-ready labels, or use our die lines designed for our bottle shapes. Need the artwork created? We can put you in touch with designers.

Can we use our own bottle?

Yes. On a bespoke recipe, our house bottles and label shapes carry the lowest minimum (220 × 700ml); a different stock bottle from Saverglass or another supplier lifts it to around 1,000 × 700ml (one pallet).

For our existing recipes, we can work to any order size.

Do you deliver nationwide?

Yes — we deliver anywhere in New Zealand.
