About Us

Gin Garden is Queenstown’s first boutique gin tasting room.

Located in Arthurs Point, just a 10-minute drive from Queenstown and Arrowtown and only a 3-minute drive from the base of Coronet Peak ski field.

Owned and operated by Broken Heart, the Gin Garden serves 15 award winning, locally distilled Broken Heart Spirits along with a locally brewed Oktoberfest lager.

Recently winning the WORLD’s Best London Dry Gin at the IWSC 2023, Best New Zealand London Dry at the World Gin Awards in both 2021 and 2022, WORLD’s Best Vodka at the World Vodka Awards 2022, and NZ’s Best Spiced Rum at the NZ Spirits Awards 2022 and 2023, we only want to deliver the best to our customers.

Distilled in the pure south of New Zealand, Broken Heart Spirits are derived from all natural botanicals and individually hand crafted. This passion for quality product that’s made from scratch, is a philosophy that makes Broken Heart so unforgettable.

The drink menu offers a comprehensive list of Broken Heart Spirits, tasting flights and cocktails and for those non-spirit drinking folk we offer a selection of beer, wine, bubbles and non-alcoholic options.

Private tastings are available for groups of 6 people or more. Offering a full, in depth tasting experience, a member of our team will spend time with your group talking through the full range and offering samples. The perfect opportunity to ask questions, learn more about the distilling process and get recommendations on serving suggestions.

Our main focus is highlighting our beautiful spirits range, however we do offer a light food menu to complement your tasting experience.

10/10 food! I don’t even like meat but the slow-cooked brisket burger was to die for. The Autumn salad exceeded expectations too. Friendly staff and great vibe and views. Thank you!

VERY yummy tapas, with beautiful presentation, and nice coffee. Clean modern environs with nice outdoor seating. We had no time for gin tastings but pretty sure that would have been great. We bought bottles (of whiskey and plum wine) from their takeaway sales

Love Arthurs Point, and this is a great little spot to start. The Gins are excellent, and the Gin flight worth doing. I give 5 stars because the food to accompany was beautiful and prompt, with only one Chef cooking on a very busy lunch day last month. Everything was fresh tasting. Staff were doing a great job with constant customers.

21st dinner at the Gin Garden Megan Agras, the restaurant manager looked after our booking from the time I first emailed her. The communication was timely and informative. We were able to organise a 21st dinner celebration for my daughter's 21st with her friends and our family (15 people). We sorted the menu, drinks and format for the evening via email as we are from out of town. We were able to go and set up the private space the day of the event. The atmosphere was incredible and Megan and her team looked after us for the evening with delicious food, a great drinks menu and a speaker we could hook us to to play our own playlist.
