An introduction to the art of pink gin
Ever wondered what gives pink gins their beautiful colour?
Discover the art of crafting pink gin at Matahui Distillery’s limited edition Gin Lab running until Wednesday 26th March. In this two-hour workshop designed for gin lovers of all levels, you’ll explore the process of blending botanicals and infusing a pink hue to create a personalised spirit that’s as visually striking as it is delicious.
Whether you’re seeking an inspired Valentine’s Day gift or simply have a love for pink gins, this is the experience for you.
If you’d prefer, you can make a clear gin instead—we have a wide range of botanicals grown on-site in our permaculture garden for you to explore.
