Bee-gin your World Gin Day celebrations earlier this year with a bee-witching event like no other bee-fore it. We are delighted to welcome you to a very special virtual event where we share with you the delights of gins that feature honey as a key botanical.

Does it make gin sweet? How does what the bees eat affect the gin? Does the still get sticky!

All these questions and more will be answered by our special guests.

The Ginporium BEE GIN TASTING PARTY will feature appearances from four distillers who will share their experiences of using honey in their gin, as well as hearing from Castlemaine Honey beekeeper Peter Macdonald.

Special guests:

Sean Waddingham, Darling Distillery (VIC)

Deborah Clayton, Puss & Mew Distillery (VIC)

Tom Warner, Warner Distillery (UK)

Kylie Sepos, The Farmer's Wife Distillery (NSW)

Opt for the ticket and the tasting pack to get a bee-witching gin kit featuring 50ml miniature bottles of each of the four gins, mixers, mini snack and a 150g jar of the same Castlemaine honey that goes into Puss & Mew's gin that have been packed specifically for us* plus free shipping within Australia. You'll also receive a special link to the event where the session will be live-streamed, giving you an opportunity to ask any burning questions you have about each of the gins and the use of the honey in the distillation. Taste the gins with us as we go along and your tasting kit includes instructions on how you can make your own bee-autiful cocktails at home using the same honey and the gins! Alongside the mixers included, you'll be able to make 3-4 drinks with each kit. Your tasting pack will also come with a voucher code for the featured gins in store!

*unfortunately, if you are in Western Australia, Northern Territory or Tasmania, we will be unable to ship the honey to you for bio-security reasons. Please ensure you choose the WA/Tas/NT ticket option. You will receive the same tasting kit as the other attendees except for the honey.

Don't want the gin tasting pack but want to join the party anyway? You'll have the option of only getting the ticket.
