What’s Included:

• A welcome cocktail on arrival

• A short history of booze, the cocktail renaissance, and the story of our 1860s Goods Shed.

• A guided tour of our working distillery: learn the art of gin, vodka, and whiskey production, and hear how Itinerant Spirits and our three distinctive spirit brands came to life.

• A hands-on cocktail-making session where you’ll craft two custom cocktails using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients.

As most great afternoons should, this one begins with a drink in hand and a story ready to unfold.

You’ll be introduced to Gallivanter Gin and Vansetter Vodka — not as strangers, but as companions with secrets to share.

Then, ascend to our private mezzanine bar — a hidden gem above the distillery, where the clink of glass meets the crackle of ice, and the spirit of discovery lingers in the air.

Choose from a vibrant spread of fresh, seasonal ingredients, laid out like a painter’s palette. Then, the real fun begins:

• Shake, stir, twist — and craft two signature cocktails entirely your own.

Perfect for curious minds, creative hands, and the best kind of company — those you love to get lost with (or found again).

• Small group sizes for a more personal experience

• Expert guidance from passionate distillers and bartenders

• Locally sourced ingredients celebrating the best of Western Victoria

• Unforgettable setting: A historic 1860s Goods Shed, reimagined for modern explorers

This isn’t just a cocktail class. It’s an expedition in good taste.

Please note: Participants must be 18 years or older.

Your Journey Begins Here

It all starts, as many great journeys do, in an unassuming place: a historic 1860s Goods Shed tucked into the heart of Western Victoria. Trains once rumbled through — today, it’s spirits that move through here.

At Itinerant Spirits, we don’t just offer tastings — we offer an adventure. Step into a working distillery alive with the scent of wild botanicals, volcanic water, and malted grains from the Mallee and Wimmera.

First, take a guided walk through our distillery, where copper stills glint in the afternoon light and the air hums with the energy of creation. You'll learn firsthand about the craft of gin distillation, vodka making, and whiskey production — rooted in tradition, but driven by discovery.

Savor the flavours of Western Victoria:

• Spirits shaped by volcanic aquifers and hand-foraged botanicals from the Grampians

• Grains malted in Ballarat and distilled using time-honored, on-grain techniques

You’ll hear the ring of copper. Smell the heart of the distillation cut.
And most importantly — you'll taste why the proof of our spirits is found not just in the bottle, but in the journey itself.
