Located in the Southland town of Gore, the Hokonui Moonshine Museum brings to life Gore’s illicit and colourful past. Discover the story of the rural town’s time as a centre for illicit whisky distilling and bootlegging. 

Dioramas, audio-visuals and artefacts keep the adventures of the Scottish settlers and their efforts to avoid run-ins with the law. You can taste Old Hokonui whisky made to the original recipe at the end of your visit. Or even buy a bottle home to take home with you.
