Ginny Pig Distillery invites visitors to unwind and explore award-winning small-batch gins in a beautiful country setting on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Nestled among rolling hills and native wildlife, the new Mt Compass distillery blends the charm of nature with the craft of gin-making. Guests can enjoy guided gin tastings, creative cocktails, and gourmet butter boards made with local produce, all designed to complement the flavours of each gin.
From the first pour to the final sip, every detail tells a story of passion and playful experimentation. Each gin is handcrafted using copper pot stills – including the impressive 400-litre still named Kelvin – and distilled with locally sourced botanicals such as fig, lemon myrtle, mango, and native pepper. Visitors can peek into the working distillery through a large viewing window, meet the friendly team, and discover the inspiration behind each creation.
Ginny Pig Distillery is known for its warm, welcoming atmosphere and the couple behind the brand – former nurses turned gin makers. Their unique journey and award-winning spirits have captured the hearts of gin lovers across Australia. Whether enjoying a lazy afternoon drink in the garden, discovering a new favourite gin flight, or simply soaking up the relaxed country charm, Ginny Pig Distillery offers a truly memorable experience.
