Gindulgence Nelson

Loving the gin craze that is currently sweeping the country? Then Gindulgence is a festival not to be missed. A celebration of all things gin, it is New Zealand’s original single-site gin festival bringing you a fabulous line-up of craft New Zealand and international gins.

This boutique gin experience began in Christchurch in 2018 and makes its first appearance in Nelson this year on Saturday, December 18th!

For gin lovers, it means a day to delight in gin tastings, explore the craft and flavours of different botanicals, chat with the distillers, indulge in some fresh and exciting cocktails and take home a bottle or two of your favourites at the end of the day.

True ginthusiasts will love the Gin Theatre which offers half-hour talks from several amazing New Zealand craft distilleries. Join the half-hour sessions to hear about the art of the craft from the makers of some of New Zealand’s finest gins.

The festival will entertain you further with local musical talent and of course, there will be a selection of Nelson’s finest local food vendors to keep you satisfied.

Come along to the Trafalgar Centre, soak up the atmosphere with G&T in hand, relax on the lawn and enjoy an afternoon of all things gin!

Bring the team for an end of year celebration or for the office Christmas party. A week out from Christmas and it’s the perfect opportunity to stock up on Christmas pressies for all the gin-lovers in your life. Or, just take some time out to relax and enjoy this boutique gin experience.

Tickets include your festival glass, samples from all the distillers, access to the Gin Theatre, live music, a great venue and a fabulous boutique gin experience.

Ginduglence is brought to you by Ilam Homestead Function Centre and Curiosity Gin. Many thanks to the great support of Nelson's Mama Cod & The Trafalgar Centre.
