Gin
The Runholder is home to Lighthouse Gin distillery.
Taste Martinborough’s original Lighthouse Gin while watching distiller Rachel Hall crafting her next batch.
New Zealand’s original craft gin
Inspired by the spectacular Cape Palliser Lighthouse on the southernmost tip of the North Island, Lighthouse Gin is twice distilled with nine botanicals and water that journeys from the Remutaka Range, emerging at a spring at Palliser Bay.
Lighthouse is one of New Zealand’s oldest craft gins. A recipe perfected over many years, we still hand zest the Yen Ben lemons and navel oranges. We still collect pure, natural spring water from the Remutakas. We still handcraft our gin in Martinborough.
Gin as it should be. We don’t cut corners.
