MELBOURNE GIN FESTIVAL

The AGDA promotes Australian craft gin distillers in several ways. We manage the annual Australian Gin Awards and a number of public events across Australia and also Auckland New Zealand. We encourage the education of gin drinkers by including master classes in the events and promoting the fact that attendees at the festivals can have discussions with the distillers to learn more about the product and how to drink responsibly. All of our events are listed and detailed atginevents.com.auWe acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and pay our respects to Elders past and present.
