Junipalooza Sydney 2020 — POSTPONED
This London gin festival is coming to Sydney for the first time.
Overview
Since 2016, Sydney gin fans have been calling for Melbourne's big gin fest to make the jump up north. And now, our requests have finally been answered. Junipalooza is coming to Sydney's shores for the first time in 2020.
Set to take over Carriageworks for two days this winter — August 22–23 — the juniper-filled festival is run by the founders of the UK's Gin Foundry, Olivier and Emile Ward — so you know you're in good gin-pouring hands. The renowned brothers live, breathe and drink gin, compiling all their knowledge onto their comprehensive online gin directory. They've also been running the OG London version of Junipalooza since way back in 2013.
The Sydney event will feature sampling stations, cocktails and gin masterclasses with some of the world's best distillers. More than 30 distillers from around the globe will be in attendance, giving punters the chance to meet the people that make their favourite gin and take a bottle or two home.
The full lineup is yet to be announced, but we're being told to expect "well over a hundred different gins". We see a lot of gin drinking in your future.
Junipalooza runs across three sessions: 11am–3pm and 4–8pm on Saturday and 11am–5pm on Sunday.
