Take 5: Five of the best gin distilleries

Partial to a gin or two? Here’s are some of the best places to indulge.

Old Young’s Kitchen

Swan Valley

Gin reigns supreme at Old Young’s — we can vouch for the Gin-Ya Colada and Gochu Under My Skin cocktails — but while you are there you can also indulge in their excellent range of vodka and enjoy a delicious seasonal menu focusing on native ingredients.

Dandelion

Karrinyup

We’d happily go broke trying all the gin cocktails at Dandelion from the Lychee Dandelini to the Lemon Meringue Martini. Just as well Dandelion also serves great food to soak up all that booze.

Margaret River Distilling Company

Margaret River

A down south go-to, this Margaret River distillery offers a huge range of delicious Giniversity branded gins including a black truffle gin and sriracha gin. Settle in for the afternoon and try a gin paddle and lunch.

Spirit of Little Things

Subiaco

This is the ideal place for a get-together. The inner-city distillery offers gin paddles, seltzers, classic cocktails and a wide range of gins and vodkas along with shared plates and platters.

Republic of Fremantle

Fremantle

Settle in for an afternoon of gin cocktails accompanied by fabulous food or head to the distillery door for tastings. Or, even better, do both.
