A pioneering New Zealand distillery producing sustainable spirits from rescued surplus bread and baked goods.
Dunedin Craft Distillers is New Zealand’s first and only distillery producing spirits exclusively from surplus and rescued bread. Located in Dunedin, this eco-conscious operation transforms baked goods into premium gin, vodka, and citrus liqueurs using a process that champions sustainability and reduces food waste.
Their product range includes the award-winning Dunedin Dry Gin, The Bay Gin, Cacao Vodka, and seasonal creations like Mulled Gin, Arancello and Limoncello. Every bottle reflects their dedication to circular economy principles, small batch production and local craftsmanship.
From bread to bottle, Dunedin Craft Distillers is redefining what it means to distil with purpose — delivering high-quality, character-filled spirits from ingredients others would discard.
