Gin-uary Hobart Gin Festival was created to celebrate Tasmania’s amazing gin industry. Tassie is known for its high quality and locally made produce – and gin is no different. Tasmania is the birthplace of modern day distilling and, now in its fourth year, Gin-uary has become an important annual event for the Tasmanian spirits industry.

Shining a light on Tasmanian distilling, Gin-uary gives distillers, regardless of their size, the opportunity for visibility on a national scale. 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! Learning about what makes each gin 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, they won’t tell anyone) they’ve got you covered too.
