Welcome

The New Zealand Spirits Awards are returning to Wellington in 2020! Last year there were over 250 entries across all seven categories and 13 products were entered into the New Zealand Innovation Award.


The judging took place in March and the final trophy winners were announced at an amazing gala dinner awards ceremony at Te Papa in May.


Presented by Spirits New Zealand Inc. and Distilled Spirits Aotearoa (NZ) Inc., the New Zealand Spirits Awards are a celebration of New Zealand and internationally available spirits. In 2020 the format will remain the same, with seven categories and the New Zealand Innovation Award. Each category will have gold, silver, bronze and double-gold medals as appropriate.  Trophy winners will be announced at the awards evening in May, awarded for both Best in Category as well as Best New Zealand product in Category.

Entries open 23rd September 2019.
