The Craft & Co Christmas Gin Market 2023

Overview

'Tis the season for many things — although at one particular pop-up Christmas market, the festivities are entirely, deliciously gin-related. The Craft & Co's returning Gin Market is a one-stop present shop with a very distinct flavour.

Taking place at The Craft & Co in Collingwood across the first weekend of December — from Friday, December 1–Sunday, December 3 — this market will showcase a careful curation of delights from an array of Aussie gin distilleries. As it's a sitdown event, they'll be going from table to table, speed-dating style, so you can hear all about the passion for their products.

Taking part: Boatrocker, Imbue Distillery, Noble Bootleggers and Bibendum, as well as Tiny Bear, Artillery and obviously The Craft & Co. Exclusive specials are promised, so if you're a real ginthusast, you'll want to stock up on presents — and, you know, a few treats for yourself.

Tickets cost $35–40 depending on the session — each running for two-and-a-half hours, at 7pm on the Friday; 11am, 2pm and 5pm on the Saturday; and 11am and 2pm on the Sunday — and there'll be nine stalls on offer.

And yes, tastings are included in the price, as is a The Craft & Co showbag. You do need to book in advance, too, as walk-ins won't be accepted.
