From $95pp

Blend your own botanicals, run them through a mini copper still and leave with a labelled bottle of gin you made yourself.

Choosing a Tasting Experience

On Errol St in North Melbourne, a family-run distillery styled around Casablanca lets groups make their own gin. Here's Looking at You, Kid, at number 92, distils on a copper pot still called Eliza Jane using native Australian botanicals.

Groups of 2 to 35 can book the space for a private spirits session. Three ways to book a gin session:

Masterclass 500 (two to 10 people): every guest builds a botanical recipe on a personal mini still and bottles 500ml of it under a custom label.
Masterclass 200 (10 to 35): small teams of two or three blend one recipe together, and everyone goes home with 200ml.
The Spirit Guide (five to 35): a guided pour through the house range.
Every group package opens with a G&T.
Sessions priced from $95 per person.

Every format is adults only.

Budget two and a half to three hours for the Masterclass 500.

Food in the packages starts with a cheese and fruit platter, then grazing boards with sandwiches, sausage rolls and vegetarian choices.
Beer, wine and soft drinks are poured as part of the package.

For a private booking, aim for eight or more; smaller parties may be fitted into a shared class.

Common Questions About Tasting Experiences

Does everyone take a bottle of gin home?

On the masterclasses, yes – a 500ml bottle with a custom label on the Masterclass 500, or 200ml each from the Masterclass 200. The hosted Spirit Guide tasting doesn't include a bottle.

Which gin format suits a big group in North Melbourne?

The Masterclass 200, made for 10 to 35, has small teams sharing a recipe. The Spirit Guide tasting also takes five to 35.

Can a small group book a private gin session?

Eight people is the suggested minimum for a private session. Smaller parties may join a shared class, and the Masterclass 500 takes groups from two.

Is the North Melbourne gin distillery 18-plus?

Yes – all three formats are for adults only.
