Settle into your spot in the colourful Marrickville warehouse we call a distillery as our distillers take you through a guided tasting of our boutique Australian gins.

You’ll learn how gin is made, how to identify different flavour profiles and how to taste it properly, with some boozy history and behind-the-scenes distillery secrets along the way.

Then it’s time to get behind the bar and make three cocktails of your own.

You’ll begin with a classic tall drink, mixing, squeezing and shaking before sitting back with your first creation and some complimentary pretzels. Our full distillery food menu will also be available if you’re feeling peckish.

Next comes a proper sipper and a lesson in large-scale cocktail making as we put the spotlight on batching drinks for a crowd.

Your third and final cocktail brings the theatre. There may be smoke, bubbles, liqueur or another unexpected flourish. There will definitely be gin.

Before you leave, you’ll receive a mystery sample of something from behind the scenes. It might be an unreleased gin our distillers are currently finessing, a limited release or a distillery-exclusive creation made using fresh Marrickville produce.

We’re being coy because no two masterclasses are exactly the same. We regularly change the featured gins, cocktails and interactive flourishes, so you can come back for another round or relish in knowing nobody else will experience quite the same class as you.
