We aren’t just a distillery, we are an experience.

We don’t do boring, welcome to our world.

At Southward, we think the best stories are made, and shared over a great drink.

We are a wild, small batch Distillery located in Wellington, New Zealand. We blend flavors you never saw coming, and we do it damn well.

The Tasting Room

Our Tasting Room located in Lyall Bay is our little slice of paradise. With our range of spirits, tasting flights, snacks and a Cellar Door for takeaway bottles, it is a place where you truly come experience our wild story for yourself.

With an ever changing collection of limited and seasonal releases this is where we host our tastings and get creative… and a little crazy. Cozy up on our upstairs couch and catch a view of the surf while you sip on a Negroni that we make any way you like it.
