As pioneers of the gin masterclass in Australia, we offer a selection of the most unique masterclasses available. In our Gin masterclass, we are constantly exploring new flavours and aromas to ensure a fun, interactive taste experience like no other, where you have an opportunity to create your very own bespoke gin.

Delve into the wonderful world of gin! Learn the long and fascinating history of gin and how it is made.

Discover the techniques and exotic botanicals used in gin production and experience for yourself how these affect the flavour and quality of gin. Bass & Flinders Distillery are always scouting for new and interesting botanicals for our unique hand crafted spirits so our classes remain distinctive.

During the classes, you will also be guided through the process of blending up your own gin recipe from a vast range of vapour infused botanicals.

Once you have created “your gin” tailored to your taste preferences, you will be able to take home a 500ml bottle with you, for you and your friends to enjoy.
