Gin Flight Tasting and Cocktail Masterclass

Enjoy a gin tasting experience and even make your own cocktails!



2 hours Class size 1 to 20 guests    

  $84 (Afterpay available)

Looking for fun things to do in Sydney? Join our gin tasting and cocktail making experience today!
Settle into your spot in our colourful warehouse, which we call a distillery.
Our master distillers will take centre stage, taking you through samples of our core range gins before making each accompanying cocktail.
As you taste and enjoy, our distillers will take you through the full process and flavour profiles, maybe even treating you to some behind-the-scenes secrets.
Our professional cocktail makers will then get you stirring, shaking and even baking? Who knows what might happen as you craft a classic tall cocktail.
Cheers to your first cocktail with some pretzels or treat yourself to our full distillery menu if you're feeling peckish.
Then it's onto your second cocktail, that's a sipper. Get involved in large-scale cocktail making as we spotlight classic cocktails.
Enjoy your third and final cocktail that requires a little smoke, a few bubbles, liquor and definitely gin.
Before you go, get treated to a sneaky sample of what our distillers are currently working on. We always have a new gin being finessed in the background and you'll maybe get to be the first people to ever try it. Or you'll may be dealt a lucky hand and get to sample our limited releases or distillery exclusive gin made from fresh Marrickville produce.
If you think we're being coy, that's because we are. No two masterclasses are the same. We revolve our cocktails, gins, and interactive flourishes so that you can keep coming back for more or relish in knowing no one will ever experience the same class as you.
Note: Please contact us if you have any queries, allergies or requirements.

At Unexpected Gin, revel in boutique Australian gin side by side in the afternoon glow, sip as our Master Distillers guide you on a journey through how to taste the unique flavour profiles of this multifaceted spirit. Salivate over the boozy history of gin, learn how it’s made, and discover a new favourite.
Continue into crafting tasty, tantalising, timeless cocktails, using our gins. We’re talking, mixing, squeezing, stirring, straining, maybe a dash of fire, the occasional bubble and a whole lot of citrus. There's never a dull moment.
If you think we're being coy, that's cause we are. No two masterclasses are the same, we revolve our cocktails, gins, and interactive flourishes so that you can keep coming back for more or relish in knowing no one will ever experience the same class as you.
