About Never Never Distilling Co. McLaren Vale
Never Never Distilling Co. pours its gins at a distillery door on Field Street in McLaren Vale, inside the Chalk Hill Collective. The site is shared with Chalk Hill Wines and the Cucina di Strada kitchen, so a group can taste gin, try wine and eat in one stop. The bookable experiences start with a guided gin tasting run by one of the team, covering a line-up of the house gins with mixers, matched garnishes and a small snack. The premium masterclass goes further behind the scenes, beginning with a gin and tonic on arrival and finishing with a cocktail of your choice and a gift bag to take away. Both formats can be paired with food. One version adds local oysters and an Italian street-food feast, another adds a shared pinsa lunch, and a combined outing links a wine tasting at Chalk Hill with a gin and tonic flight. The team says many of these sessions can be adapted for a private group. For something larger, the tasting room takes function bookings for corporate events and private celebrations, arranged by enquiry and confirmed against a preferred date. Everyone on site must be 18 or over, and wedding, hens, bucks and 18th birthday groups are not accepted.
