About this tour
A hands-on two-hour session on the Gold Coast where you'll learn gin's backstory, explore the distillation craft, and create your own 500ml bottle. Work with a master distiller to select from 50 botanicals, blend your spirit using small copper stills, and taste the result. You take home your custom gin.
Highlights
- Pick from 50 botanicals to design your signature blend
- Distil using traditional 2.5 litre copper alembic stills
- Learn gin history and distillation techniques from a master
- Taste your finished spirit before bottling
- Take home a 500ml bottle of your own creation
What to expect
The masterclass begins with the distiller walking you through gin's evolution and the role botanicals play in flavour. You'll see how the distillation process works, then move to the hands-on part: selecting your botanicals from the collection and loading them into your small copper still. The actual distillation takes time, so you'll watch the spirit develop whilst learning more. Once ready, you'll taste your gin and understand how your botanical choices shaped the final product. The whole thing runs about two hours and stays grounded in practical technique rather than theory.
Good to know
Adults 18+ only. You'll leave with your 500ml bottle. The venue is fully wheelchair accessible with accessible transport nearby. Public transport options are available if you're not driving.
