Itinerary highlights

Granddad Jack's Albion

We get right into the thick of it with a guided tour and tasters at Granddad Jack’s. Learn how gin is distilled, what sets it apart, and why these guys have won so many awards! You’ll walk away knowing more about gin, Granddad Jack, and what you prefer to enjoy your gin with: tonic or soda water.

Milton Common

Featuring mouth-watering lunch options and gin distilled on site, this is a great space to kick back, sample some unique gins, and get up close and personal to their small-scale still in the upstairs corner. If owner Jimmy or brewer/distiller Justin is around, they’ll be happy to answer any questions.

Nosferatu Distillery

Tucked away in Fortitude Valley is Nosferatu Distillery, with super fun flavours of gin, including their award-winning pavlova gin!

Milton Rum Distillery

Did someone say digestif? To wash down a fantastic meal, we’ll finish the day at Milton Rum Distillery, where head distiller Alex will treat you to the history of the venue and walk everyone through some rum tasting.

Their old-world approach with modern techniques allows Milton Rum Distillery to produce premium cane spirits with a difference.
