About this tour
Design and distil your own gin from botanicals in a four-hour hands-on session in the Barossa Valley. You'll blend your custom recipe, then it goes into the still while you settle in for a three-course lunch paired with local wine. Walk away with a bottle bearing your signature blend—no two batches identical.
Highlights
- Blend your own botanical recipe from scratch
- Watch distillation happen while you eat
- Three-course lunch with wine included
- Taste three structurally different gins
- Take home your personal bottle
- Wheelchair accessible venue and facilities
What to expect
You'll start by learning how different botanicals interact—citrus, spice, florals, wood—then select and balance your own combination under guidance. Your blend goes into the still, where the actual distillation takes several hours. Rather than watch it bubble away, you move to the dining room for a proper three-course meal with wine. Midway through lunch, your gin emerges ready to bottle. The tasting component teaches you why structure matters: you'll sample three gins made using different methods, understanding how order of botanicals and distillation technique reshape the final flavour.
