World Gin Day at Four Pillars Distillery

Overview

As if we needed a reason to enjoy a bit of Mother's Ruin, this Saturday, June 11 is World Gin Day — and the team at Four Pillars are keen to mark the occasion. The Healesville distillery will play host to a big ol' boozy shindig, complete with food by Burn City Smokers and free samples from the entire Four Pillars range. They'll also be launching their new Bloody Shiraz Gin, which has been steeped in and blended with Shiraz grapes from the Yarra Valley.

Open from 10.30am, the event will also feature Caroline from A Bit of Jam and Pickle, who'll dole out homemade scones topped with Four Pillars' Orange Marmalade. Burn City, meanwhile, will be slinging botanical-fed pulled pork rolls from their food truck parked out front.

Naturally, the Four Pillars bar will be open for business, serving Negronis and G&Ts. Unfortunately the hands-on distilling lesson has already sold out — but on the plus side, that just means you'll have more time to drink.
