XMAS Gin Market

Can you feel it? The longer days, the warmer weather and the happier faces… must be summer soon. And there’s another thing we all think about when summer comes…XMAS! But when The Craft & Co thinks about XMAS, they think Gin Market!

Out of all the gin markets they hold throughout the year, the biggest one is definitely their XMAS Gin Market.

So together with some of the best local gin distilleries, they are holding their second annual XMAS Gin Market.

There’ll be over 12 market stalls of various gin distillers on offer, where the crowds can meet some of the makers in person and find out all about their products. They’re expecting yet another sell-out weekend, so are urging people to snare themselves a spot in Melbourne’s original and only regular gin market!

Confirmed market stallholders (but not limited to); Karu Distillery; Tiny Bear Distillery; Imbue Distillery; Kilderkin Distillery; Bass & Flinders Distillery; Mother’s Milk; Hurdle Creek; Still Mountain Distilling; Big Tree Distillery; Blind Tiger Gin; Patient Wolf Gin; and The Craft & Co.

Plus... special guests and national liqueur champions Marionette
