Craft Your Own Spirit – From Still to Sip
Whether you’re a gin enthusiast or curious about crafting your own botanical vodka, this immersive hands-on experience lets you step into the role of distiller for a day.

Each participant (or duo at a shared station) is set up with a hand-made Italian copper still—your personal distilling station for the day. Starting with a clean base spirit, you’ll be guided through building a completely unique recipe, tailored to your own flavour preferences.

You’ll explore a wide selection of botanicals—from time-honoured favourites like juniper and citrus, to native and lesser-known aromatic gems. With expert guidance from their distilling team, you’ll learn the techniques we use to balance flavour, aroma, and texture in every bottle.

What you’ll do:
Select your botanicals and create your personalised recipe
Distill your spirit using traditional copper stills
Enjoy a delicious lunch while your creation comes to life
Bottle, label, and seal your own custom spirit
Take home a 700ml bottle of your handcrafted gin or botanical vodka

Book your station now and begin your distilling journey.
Spots are limited and sessions begin promptly at 11:00 am every Friday and Saturday – Bookings essential
