Ginuary is a vehicle for awareness of the abundance of Tasmanian distillers doing amazing things across the industry. Gin-uary is also all about having fun!

There will be a delicious variety of food vendors at the event as well as the Gin-uary bar slinging cocktails and Gin-uary G&T’s. For those who are tagging along and may not like gin (shhhh, they won’t tell anyone) they’ve got you covered too.

Led by Saffire Freycinet’s former Head Chef Simon Pockran, Old Wharf Restaurant’s seafood focus perfectly complements the backdrop of passing cray boats.
