Wine, Gin & Beer Experiences Blue Mountains

Cool-climate country suits a slow afternoon of tasting, and in the Blue Mountains that means gin. A small-batch distillery in North Katoomba walks groups past the stills and ends with a tasting flight of gin or vodka.

Ways groups use a tasting:

• As the centrepiece of a hens or bucks afternoon, followed by dinner in Katoomba or Leura
• As a relaxed finish to a work offsite or team building day
• As a birthday outing for a small group, since bookings start at two
• Combined with a cocktail lesson for guests who want to make drinks as well as taste them

Tours start from $45 per person. Arrange a party bus or limousine so the whole group gets home without a designated driver.

Weekend afternoons in autumn and winter are the busiest, so a Friday tasting can be quieter for a bigger group. Ask whether the flight can lean towards gin or vodka depending on the crowd, and whether a short cocktail lesson can be added at the end.
