Getting Cocktail Classes Right in Southern Peninsula

Across the Southern Peninsula, the cocktail classes are clustered in Dromana, at the bay end of the region. That works for groups staying anywhere along Point Nepean Road, which follows the bay from Dromana through Rosebud and Rye to Sorrento and Portsea.

The two distilleries running them each mix with a spirit made on site – rum at JimmyRum Distillery, gin and brandy at Bass & Flinders Distillery.

How the two classes compare:

Group numbers – JimmyRum needs at least six and caps its workshop at twelve, while Bass & Flinders books its masterclass for a private group.
The spirit in the shaker – rum made beside the JimmyRum copper still, against gin and brandy distilled from wine at Bass & Flinders.
Glasses per guest – two or three at JimmyRum depending on the package, and three at Bass & Flinders.
Something to take home – each Bass & Flinders guest leaves with a 200ml bottled cocktail.
Starting prices – from $80 per person at JimmyRum and from $105 per person at Bass & Flinders.

Bass & Flinders runs its experiences for adults only. Enquire with a date and group size to hear back on availability from either.
