Choosing a Tasting Experience

A tasting gives a group a reason to slow down, learn something and talk, which suits a work Christmas function as much as a birthday. Around Perth the options fall into three places: a working distillery in central Fremantle, a family distillery in Baskerville in the Swan Valley, and a cidery and small winery in Carmel in the Perth Hills.

Ways to narrow the choice:

  • Learn or taste: gin classes have guests blending or distilling their own, while a guided tour keeps the group together and listening.
  • Spend: the Fremantle distillery starts at $30 per person and Swan Valley gin classes at $85 per person; ask the Carmel producers for group rates directly.
  • Location: Fremantle sits close to restaurants and the train, while Carmel and Baskerville are at the city's edge.
  • Food: ask about share plates or platters, or book a meal nearby, so nobody tastes on an empty stomach.
  • Occasion fit: some producers list work functions only, others birthdays, so check yours is covered.

For the Hills or the valley, a wine tour or party bus means everyone gets home safely. Groups who prefer mixing drinks can also look at cocktail classes.

Fremantle versus the city's edge

  • A Fremantle session suits an after-work group, as it is easy to reach and leads straight into dinner.
  • Swan Valley gin classes run as private times for parties and teams, making them a self-contained outing.
  • In Carmel, an orchard cidery runs guided shed tours with tasting paddles, and a small winery offers tastings with share plates.
  • Pairing the Hills with the valley in one day is possible, but needs a planned route and a booked coach.

What to ask the producer

  • How long the session runs and how many tastings or pours the price includes.
  • Maximum group size, and whether the space can be booked privately.
  • Non-drinking options for guests who prefer not to drink.
  • Whether guests take home a bottle they made or can buy one on the day.
  • Weekend availability, since cellar doors and restaurants may only open certain days.

Common Questions About Tasting Experiences

Where can a Perth group learn to make gin?

In central Fremantle a distillery runs a gin school and a cocktail school, and a Swan Valley distillery in Baskerville offers gin blending and distilling classes for private groups.

What does a distillery session around Perth cost?

Fremantle sessions start at $30 per person and Swan Valley gin classes at $85 per person. Ask what each covers, from the number of tastings to whether you take a bottle home.

Are there cider tastings in the Perth Hills?

Yes, a family orchard in Carmel runs guided cider house tours with tasting paddles. Ask about group pricing and booking times directly.

How do guests get home from a Carmel or Swan Valley tasting?

Book a coach, party bus or wine tour so nobody needs to stay sober for the trip back. The Hills and the valley sit at the city's edge, which makes a transport plan essential.

Does a Fremantle distillery tour suit a work Christmas party?

It suits a festive work function well, with guided tours and tastings close to Fremantle's restaurants for dinner afterwards.
