About Us.

THE SPIRITS SCHOOL

Spirits are big business. Globally and here at home, in New Zealand.

 

From the farmers and foragers to the distillers and bars where they are mixed and served, people are exploring the ever-expanding world of spirits.

​

So how can we help you find your way in the industry?

​

We were founded with one single idea.

 

To be a place where people take their jobs and their passions for the craft of spirits and mixology to the next level.
