Rifters - Arrowtown Distillery

Rifters, we're bringing a true taste of Central Otago to the festival — showcasing small-batch spirits crafted right here in the heart of Arrowtown. Visitors can expect to sample our award-winning gins (including the “World’s Best Gin” as awarded in June 2025 by the World Gin Awards in London), our crisp Vodka, and for the first time ever at a festival — our much-anticipated Single Malt Whisky. This is whisky with real local roots: grown on Royalburn Station, aged and bottled with care in the Whakatipu Basin. Bold, complex, and distinctly Central Otago.
