The Summer Gin Market

We’ve had many gin markets to signify the seasons throughout the year, but can you believe we’ve never held one dedicated only to summer? Well…we’re going to right that wrong in 2020 and launching our first ever Summer Gin Market!

So together with some of our distillery friends, we’ll be putting together over 10 market stalls on show, where you can meet some of the makers in person and find out all about their products (some of which are making their Gin Market debut!). We’re expecting another sell-out weekend, so are urging people to snare themselves a spot early in Melbourne’s original and longest running Gin Market series.
