Blend your own gin at this rural distillery nestled in the hills of the gorgeous Pyrenees Ranges, north-west of Ballarat, Victoria.

Grab one of your nearest-and-dearest and book yourselves in for a lovely afternoon of gin!
Visit the regional distillery, and get hands-on as you learn about gin botanicals, explore the flavour components harnessed by distillation and tour the micro distillery. You will be guided through tasting up to 15 individual distillations such as juniper, citrus, coffee, and pepperberry and deciding upon your own signature gin.

Your host, Jane (owner, founder, botanist), will guide you through the blending process as you harness the scientist within, using beakers and test-tubes to blend your own gin and bottle it into one of Mrs Baker’s elegant apothecary-style bottles. Enjoy the playful and relaxed atomosphere as you put your new botanical knowledge to work and make a gin unique to you.
You will sample your gin after class as a Gin & Tonic (or soda) over a light lunch, and then have the opportunity to browse the Mrs Baker's range in the Cellar Door.
