Choosing a Tasting Experience

Drinks experiences in the hinterland come down to one small class at Hunchy, in the hills behind Nambour, where Hunchy Hills Distillery hosts gin blending for a party of two to four. The scale is the point: it is a private session for a couple or a few friends rather than a group outing.

Inside a three-hour Hunchy session:

  • It opens with a walk through the still room and the space where the spirits are made.
  • Guests then taste their way through the distillery's gins, vodka and liqueurs.
  • The main event is designing a personal gin blend.
  • That blend fills a 700ml bottle, labelled and named by whoever made it.
  • Each place costs from $200 per person.

Occasions that fit a four-person class

  • A low-key birthday where the guest of honour goes home with their own gin.
  • A pair marking something together, since two is the minimum booking.
  • A gift for a gin lover, booked through the calendar.
  • Over-18s only: the distillery is licensed for adults.

Hunchy Hills before you book

  • Choose a slot on the booking calendar, or enquire for other dates.
  • Ask which locally grown or gathered botanicals you can blend with.
  • The spirits are distilled on site in short runs by a female distiller.
  • Labels feature paintings by Vanessa Perske, a local artist.
