Naught Distilling at The Orchard

Overview

When it comes to fine booze and fancy feeds, who says the inner city crowd has to have all the fun? This month, Eltham distillery Naught is reminding us of all the good stuff happening beyond the big smoke, when it teams up with the new Sebel Melbourne Ringwood for a sumptuous gin dinner.

On Friday, August 12, the hotel's Orchard Restaurant and Bar will play host to the botanical-fuelled feast, dishing up four considered courses, each one centred around local produce and matched carefully to a different cocktail crafted on Naught's award-winning signature gin.

For $125, you'll find yourself tucking into pairings like smoked gin kingfish ceviche with a Basil & Rhubarb Coupette, a gin-infused reworking of duck a l'orange sided with a classic Casino, and a riff on a baked Alaska teamed with Naught's Sanjo Sour.

And of course, if you want to take full advantage of all that fine gin and ditch the drive home, you can simply book yourself a stay onsite — the Sebel's rates start from $215.
