Itinerant Spirits

Bars

Itinerant Spirits in Ballarat offers an elevated distillery experience for locals and travellers who appreciate exceptional cocktails, flavour-led dining and the art of spirit making.

Set within the historic 1860s Ballarat Goods Shed, the venue brings together on-site distilling of Gallivanter Gin, Vansetter Vodka and Whiskey with a contemporary cocktail bar and seasonal dishes designed to complement each spirit.

Craftsmanship is central to the experience. Each small-batch spirit is created using locally grown grains, pure volcanic spring water and hand-foraged native botanicals, reflecting a strong connection to Ballarat’s landscape. Visitors can view the working distillery through glass walls, relax beneath grand heritage ceilings or join a guided distillery tour and tasting that reveals the stories and techniques behind the spirits.

Its central location enhances every visit. Positioned directly opposite Ballarat Station, Itinerant Spirits is an easy two-minute walk for train travellers and offers free onsite parking for those arriving by car. The venue sits just a short stroll from Ballarat’s goldrush architecture, ten minutes from the Art Gallery of Ballarat and within easy driving distance of Lake Wendouree and Sovereign Hill. Sustainable design and locally sourced ingredients honour the region’s history while supporting mindful travel.

Perfect for a weekend getaway or a stop on a regional road trip, this destination invites visitors to slow down, explore and experience a memorable taste of Ballarat’s spirit.
