Blending tales of shipwrecks, sly grog shops and distilling bans with some of Melbourne’s coolest whisky and gin joints, the Melbourne Whisky and Gin Tour is a rollicking adventure from Victoria’s early spirit making past to its modern craft scene. Starting at State Parliament, you'll be transported back in time to a heady world of prohibition, sly grog shops, shipwrecks and even Sherlock Holmes while sampling gin at a heritage brick cottage that once housed bootleg grog. From here, it's a short stroll to Melbourne's first whisky bar and a wide selection of peaty single malts, honeyed Highlands and mellow Scottish blends. Your tour ends at one of the cities best bars - a hidden distillery!

Perfect whiskey and gin experience

Wow what a fantastic way to explore some beautiful Melbourne bars and taste delicious whiskeys and gins. Brigitte entertained us and informed us of the history at the same time - her knowledge and passion for the subject was amazing. Would definitely recommend the tour. Special mention to our "nemesis" tour guide Jay who ran the laneway tour at the same time - that's the next tour on the list.

Hidden gems we never knew existed - Right in our own home city!!!

Brigitte was an absolute gem of a guide—knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly loves what she does. As people who consider ourselves pretty familiar with the city, we were genuinely surprised by how many hidden gems we discovered right in our own backyard. Melbourne CBD has so many secret spots we never knew existed. A brilliant way to see the city with fresh eyes—highly recommend for visitors and locals alike! We now have a new appreciation for Gin and Whiskey!
