Choosing a Tasting Experience

Across the Northern Suburbs & Lara, tasting experiences centre on North Geelong, where Anther Distillery works out of the Federal Mills precinct. It is a gin house rather than a winery or brewery, so a group booking in the north is about spirits, cocktails and tasting notes.

Things to weigh up for a group drinks outing in the north:

  • Format: a guided four-gin tasting, a flight of four half-size cocktails, or a tiered package that combines them.
  • Length: packages run from about 45 minutes up to two hours.
  • Numbers: exclusive hire covers up to 80 standing or 40 seated.
  • Food: nothing is served on site, so plan catering or use a partner caterer.
  • Cost: tastings start from $25 per person.

Why a North Geelong distillery works for groups

  • The tasting room is indoors beside the still, so a cold or wet day changes nothing.
  • The heritage mill setting with its brick chimney gives the outing a sense of place.
  • Partial reservation suits a small birthday; full hire suits a team party.
  • A blind tasting in the top package adds a game to the session.

Occasions Anther Distillery hosts in the north

  • Hens parties and bridal showers.
  • Birthdays, from a handful of friends to a full room.
  • Christmas parties, with the packages scaled to the group.
  • Team-building and corporate events, where a guided tasting breaks the ice.
