Juniperlooza 2016

Overview

Australia's finest gin makers are on their way to Federation Wharf for a two-day celebration of that most sensational of spirits. Juniperlooza is a home-grown gin festival that should in no way be confused with Junipalooza (spelled with an 'a'), which took place in October and is a totally different thing. We know it's confusing, but are you really going to complain about Melbourne getting two events dedicated to gin? Yeah, we didn't think so.

Held at Pilgrim and Riverland Bars on the weekend of November 19 and 20, Juniperlooza will showcase some of Australia's best gin, from the likes of Archie Rose, Adelaide Hills, Four Pillars and many more. There'll also be food to help line your stomach, music to get you moving, and special talk + taste sessions to fill your brain with gin wisdom. Hopefully you can still remember it the next day.

UPDATE NOVEMBER 15, 2016: To kick things off a little early, Juniperlooza will be giving away free G&Ts from 4.30-6.30pm on Tuesday, November 15 at Riverland on the Yarra. All you have to do is get the Zomato app and bookmark Riverland.
