Gin & Canapés at Hapuku Kitchen with Mt Fyffe Distillery

We are lucky enough to have an award-winning gin distillery right here in Kaikōura!  Mt Fyffe Distillery uses botanics sourced from their farm and foraged from the Kaikōura region and has created two distinct blends of small batch artisan London dry gin and, like Hapuku Kitchen, is a family-run business committed to creating a quality, unique product.

Join us here at Hapuku Kitchen for a one-off unique experience where you will taste four Mt Fyffe Distillery gin cocktails and a special fifth tipple paired with canapés created by Hapuku Kitchen.  Justine Schroder from Mt Fyffe Distillery will introduce each cocktail and talk about the creative process of making such a unique drop.

Hapuku Kitchen takes great pride in utilising seasonal produce, grown in our own gardens as well as foraged from the wild environment of Kaikōura.  Everything at Hapuku Kitchen is made from scratch.  Our canapés have been carefully designed to celebrate the characteristics of Justine's gin.

Our open dining and living area is relaxed and can comfortably seat 36 guests for this one-off event.

If you're interested in good food, quality small batch gin and wonderful company, get a group of friends or family together and join us for a local, social evening.
