Twilight Tour/Self Drive

Nestled on the edges of the urbanscape of New Plymouth, Black Gates is a unique property that boasts features of a country lifestyle retreat, with the convenience of city living.

Set on 1.9 hectares with a sustainable self-sufficient vegetable garden, fruit trees, microgreen glasshouse and livestock paddocks, this garden in progress will delight those who are inspired by the urban farming life.

With a rum cocktail in hand tour the garden and hear from the owners about their journey to self sufficiency. Returning to the outdoor deck hear from Janet Charteris, the story of LWF Rum Distilling. Janet has created a smooth rum with enough ‘rum funk’ to hold up to classic mixers and shine in cocktails. You will sample rums from their range, feast on delectable nibbles and listen to live music in the background.

Dress: A bit of glam with sensible shoes for the garden and a warm coat

Ticket includes garden entry and tour, 2 rum cocktails, rum tastings, nibbles and entertainment
