This year, you'll have another excuse for enjoying a G&T in a garden — Australia's gin and tonic festival is kicking off its 2021 national tour with a party in The Rocks. Descending on the area's First Fleet Park from Thursday, March 25–Sunday, March 28, the Fever-Tree Gin & Tonic Festival is a huge tasting event dedicated to the classic tipple.

Here, you'll have the chance to sample over 20 different gins — from Melbourne's world-renowned Four Pillars to Sydney's Archie Rose and international favourite Hendrick's — matched with top tonics from Fever-Tree's range of mixers. Plus, you'll be able to purchase one of the final 100 bottles of Garden Grown Gin's Blue Mountains Gin, which is helping to raise funds for bushfire relief.

Explore the pop-up Gin Village, Tonic Discovery Bar and Ultimate Gin & Tonic Bar, then grab a snack from one of the food trucks or kick back with a gourmet picnic hamper. Rounding out the fun will be live entertainment, lawn games and activities, as well as a series of complimentary drink demonstrations and expert-led workshops.

Tickets to the Fever-Tree Gin & Tonic Festival clock in at $65 (or $55 if you get in quick), which'll score you entry and six mini gin and tonics.

Fever-Tree Gin & Tonic Festival runs from 5–9pm Thursday–Friday, 11.30am–9.30pm Saturday and 12–6.30pm Sunday.
