Gin Tasting Hall
Expect more gin ever than before, as Ginuary Festival is back with a vengeance following two years of restricted events brought by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2021 and the floods in 2022.
The ‘gin tasting hall’ is a fully covered space which features more than 10 different degustation stations, where guests can enjoy free gin tastings. There’s also an opportunity to purchase limited-edition gins or find new potential favourites.
As Ginuary Festival returns for its fifth year, Covent Garden has once again teamed up with Long Rays, CG Gin Co and some other Australian distillers to showcase the best of the homegrown gin industry at the gin tasting hall.
‘Gin House’ area
Covent Garden will be bringing along more than a hundred of your favourite gins, for you to indulge in, whilst enjoying the best view in town.
Howard Smith Wharves’ Rivershed is a heritage wharf building with an incomparable space overlooking the city and the Story Bridge. The Green House, on the other hand, offers an intimate, inner city escape for guests with plenty of natural light and greenery.
Hottest 100 Aussie Gins
As part of Covent Garden’s annual tradition, they will be bringing to you a countdown of the Hottest 100 Aussie Gins, voted by the people, especially gin lovers.
Voting is now open at www.hottest100gins.com.au. This year’s nominations have already reached a record number of more than 650 and are still growing.
