Gin Tasting Experience and Masterclass – The Heart of Patient Wolf Gin

At Patient Wolf, we believe that great gin starts with dedication, expertise, and innovation. Jordan and Dave, our distillers, are constantly experimenting with botanicals, flavours, and techniques to push the boundaries of what gin can be. Whether you’re a gin connoisseur or a first-time visitor, you’ll be amazed by the care and craftsmanship that goes into every bottle of our award-winning gin.

Join us for a Gin Tasting Experience or take part in our exclusive Gin Masterclass, where you can learn the art of gin-making firsthand. Our Gin Tasting Masterclass is designed for enthusiasts who want to dive deeper into the world of botanicals, history of gin and what makes Patient Wolf’s gin unique.

Sustainable Gin Production

Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. From locally sourced botanicals from our neighbours at the South Melbourne Market to eco-friendly distillation and waste processes, Patient Wolf is committed to reducing our environmental footprint. During your visit, you’ll learn how we ensure that every bottle not only delivers premium quality but also supports a sustainable future. For example, you can bring back your empty Melbourne Dry Gin or Summer Thyme Gin bottle and refill it with gin and get $10 off the RRP too! Our Gin Tasting sessions include a focus on these environmentally conscious practices, setting new standards in the craft gin world.
