Victoria by Farmer's Daughters x Gin Palace Summer Terrace Takeover

Overview

The ever-decadent Gin Palace is shutting its doors throughout January 2024 to spruce up its CBD digs, but it won't be totally gone during the month. For a few select dates in January, the Gin Palace crew will take over the Terrace Bar at Victoria by Farmer's Daughters — one of the best restaurants in Melbourne.

The gin-filled residency will run from 5pm–late on Thursday, January 18, Saturday, January 20, Thursday, January 25 and Friday, January 26 — and also from 7.30pm–late on Saturday, January 27.

On each of these days, bartenders from Gin Palace will whip up classic cocktails and signature sips using Four Pillars gins. In true Victoria by Farmer's Daughters style, the bartenders will mostly use local ingredients throughout the bespoke cocktail menu, creating bevs that are best paired with some bar snacks — also made with locally sourced produce.

Try some Bass Strait scallops while sampling a dry martini — or get around some barbecue lamb chops while nursing a Victorian Spagliato made with Four Pillars negroni gin, Marionette bitter liqueur infused with pineapple, dry sparkling wine and some fresh pineapple to garnish.

And if you pop down to the Yarra-side restaurant and bar on a Friday or Saturday evening during this period, you'll also be treated to some live music tunes.
