‘Hokonui’ is a legendary southern spirit first made in the bush clad Southland hills of the same name. Over 50 years of localized Prohibition gave rise to this truly indigenous cottage industry and brought forth some legendary clandestine activity in the hills, gullies and farm sheds around Gore.

This Distillery and Book Launch celebrates two important milestones in the redevelopment of the Hokonui Moonshine Museum.
