Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Everything was very enjoyable and hard to pick one particular aspect of the tour.
Tony our guide explained all about the Distillery very well.

This has become a worthwhile stop when in Reefton. They run distillery tours and have a fine sampling range using local ingredients. Friendly staff, a good merchandise range, interesting local history and easy to find and park. You get what you pay for, as previous reviewers have said.

A great experience and like many others we love Little Biddy gin. But it was great to see how it was made and taste other things.

We (party of 2) stopped in Reefton for the night (a Wednesday) and in reality one of the reasons we booked and stopped here was the lure of the Little Biddy gin tasting.
Disappointingly for us, we were unable to book a tasting until later in the week due to the popularity of the place it seems....that said, we stopped by anyway on the off chance and were very pleasantly surprised by the offer to pop out the back for a tasting (minus the distillery tour and at no cost I might add) In addition to that, they had just that day launched the new 'Snow' variety and we even got to try that!
A really accommodating team and some great product. Would highly recommend going in for a tasting if you can and like many I am sure you will be a fan of the offerings they have.

To be up front we love Little Biddy Gin and this was a factor in visiting Reefton so not surprisingly we were biased.
Although we missed the tour the tasting was great and we discovered new flavors and the amazing Tayberry Liqueur.

Little Biddy gin is fabulous but don’t stop there - taste some of the liqueurs or Rose gin or vodka. Super knowledgeable staff and lots of interesting info about how the gin is made. Ask about with Wild Water ... Just wish we could have stayed fir the tour - another time perhaps... make sure you buy more than one bottle!

Locally produced gin distilled with local leaves and stuff. You can try before you buy and they had a decent easter special offer. The cellar door prices are more than my local bottle store though, but I like the idea that all the money stays in the town. You can try before you buy.

What yummy Gin. Loved the tasting of the various gins and perfect lil' ones to take on the Old Ghost Road - 5 day tramp. I will be supporting this little distilling company. Loved the pink one with its botanical notes. Yum!
