Gin-uary Hobart Gin Festival is Hobart's original and best Tasmanian Gin Festival. Gin-uary Hobart Gin Festival was created to celebrate Tasmania’s amazing spirits industry. Tassie is known for its high quality and locally made produce – especially our world class spirits! Tasmania is the birthplace of modern day distilling and, now in its seventh year, Gin-uary has become an important annual event for the Tasmanian spirits industry.

Gin-uary is all about having fun! Learning about what makes each spirit unique, sampling the wares and enjoying the experience with mates. 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, we won’t tell anyone) we’ve got you covered too - unlike the other festivals, we have a huge range of drinks to try!
