Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Arrived with low expectations after being given a promotional card from our accommodation. We did the $8 pp tasting (the card allowed 1 for free) and ended up staying for a second tasting each. It was really great to try all the different flavours and Angie in particular was amazing. She was very welcoming, great for a chat and provided a very good insight and recommendation on all products. We weren't having the best day and Angie completely changed that. Would 100% go back!

Exciting and tantalising array of tastes is a feature at this small distillery that offers a great range of full-flavoured gins, schnapps, vodkas and liqueurs. Gordon, the owner manager I think, is passionate and very knowledgeable about his products and Camille, who pours a pretty nifty shot or two of the good stuff, is cheerful, knowledgeable and friendly. I tried (and bought) their Davidson's Plum gin, a potent absinthe and the St Alushka Cardamon liqueur. Highly recommended - and I understand that on weekends it often becomes a pretty lively place as musicians and tasters enjoy great hospitality

This place is amazing. As soon as you walk in, you feel instantly welcome and relaxed. The staff are wonderful. Get the tasting board for $8 per person and sample 4 of the liqueurs, then you can buy your favourites. There’s no rush, you can take your time, and the staff are on hand to suggest ways to enjoy the liqueurs and other things to do in the region. We had such a great experience the first time we went back again.

We were part of a wine tour that visited here and since our last visit in 2018 there are some major changes, especially to the building itself. The new one was built in July 2019 and is a modern take on the previous one.
The products are still amazing, more varied perhaps and ever so more-ish. There are liqueurs, schnapps, gins, vodkas, gift packs and more, each produced here and mainly sourced locally. The limoncello and coffee ones were my favourites.
Staff were most informative, knowledgeable and clearly seemed to enjoy what they do.

My friend and I realised that tastings of liqueurs and spirits are a great opportunity for mindfulness. And it’s easy to be mindful in the beautiful room/building in which the tastings are done.
Our server was very genuine and friendly and gave just the right amount of info.
The limoncello continues to be utterly magnificent (been a fan for over 10 years)
Today’s find was a Lychee and Elderflower Liqueur which was delicate and complex and just a really delightful surprise

Hi Elizabeth, many thanks for the lovely review and so glad you enjoyed yourself. If you liked the Lychee and Elderflower you may wish to try our Wild Forest Plum with Sweet Rose and Elderflower. This is a complex and deep tasting liqueur and the favourite drink of all our female staff.
Look forward to seeing you again soon.

We had a lovely visit to this distillery just around the corner at the end of Gallery Walk. For $5.00 you get three liqueurs and one spirit tasting. My husband and I tasted each others so we got more tastings. They were really quite delicious and we ended up buying three bottles of some very tasty liqueurs in beautiful bottles. They would be a great present but we are keeping ours. It would be easy to walk out with half a dozen bottles full of different flavours if you like something small but tasty after dinner. An artist/owner used to do the pattern on the bottles by hand but now they do prints of the originals and it is done mechanically as it was too much for one person to do. An unexpected pleasure to finish off our great day in the mountains.

You really must visit the Distillery!! It's just off Gallery Walk and they have a $5 tasting option for 4 drinks. They were all delicious and different. You can purchase from there or order online when you get home. They had lots of different size options and so many choices of spirits and liqueurs. The service was also awesome. HIGHLY recommended!!

Highly recommend calling in for a visit and a tasting! The liqueurs are delicious with a large range of flavours to choose from. On arrival we were greeted by Mirindi, a very friendly and funny lady who kept us both royally entertained while we had our tasting. Try the Wattle Toffee liqueur, it's amazing!

There are so many flavours to chose from here. This makes the task of finding a favourite almost impossible on the first try!
But, nonetheless you can get a paddle of four tastings for a measly $8 in a very quaint style setting. The staff were great at helping us with the selections, I’d stick to the flavours you know work for your own tastes.
We ended up with the coffee liqueur as our favourite.

The liqueur on offer here is average at best. Not enjoyable flavours with a very string “neat alcohol” taste. There was a new staff member who was doing his best however the lady who served to be I charge was rude and berated him openly in front of us. Very unprofessional. Would not bother stopping again.

Thanks for your horrible review and sorry you didn't like our drinks or customer service. With nearly 400 International awards for these drinks over the last 31 years, I don' think there is much chance we will change any of our formulations however, so it is probably best that we agnree to disagree, as to whether you, or the worlds top drinks judges, are to be believed about the quality fo our rage,
Thanks again and have a nice life.
