Big Barrel

In the heart of Hawke's Bay, nestled amongst the rolling vineyards and sun-drenched landscapes that have made this region famous for its exceptional wines, stands Big Barrel - a beacon for connoisseurs and casual imbibers alike. Established in the early 1900s, we've been a cornerstone of the local community, providing an unparalleled selection of liquors that cater to every taste and occasion. Our journey began as a small, family-run store, dedicated to offering our neighbors the finest spirits from around the globe. Over the years, we've grown, but we've never lost sight of our roots. Today, Big Barrel remains a local institution, proudly serving generations of families and welcoming newcomers with open arms. Walk through our doors, and you'll find an inviting atmosphere that harkens back to a simpler time. The walls are lined with towering shelves filled with an extensive array of whiskeys, vodkas, tequilas, wines, and soft drinks, each carefully curated to ensure our customers have access to the very best. Our knowledgeable staff is always on hand to help you find the perfect bottle or answer any questions you may have - whether you're looking for a rare vintage port or the smoothest bourbon whiskey. But Big Barrel isn't just about liquors; it's about the stories that come with them. We believe that every bottle tells a tale, and we take great pride in sharing those stories with our customers. From the history of a particular wine region to the unique production methods behind your favorite spirit, we strive to bring you closer to the people and places that make these drinks so special. Whether you're stocking up for a special occasion or simply looking to explore new flavors, Big Barrel is more than just a liquor outlet - it's an experience.
