Gold Coast Craft Distillery Tour and Tasting

This is a short guided visit to Granddad Jack’s distillery on the Gold Coast, aimed at anyone keen to learn more about small-batch spirits without committing to a big day out. You’ll get a cocktail on arrival, a behind-the-scenes look at how the distillery operates, and a tasting of its award-winning gin, whiskey, vodka and liqueurs, plus some nibbles. At $115, it sits more in the treat-yourself category than budget activity, but it packs a fair bit into 90 minutes.

You’ll start with a cocktail when you arrive, then join a guided tour through the distillery for a look behind the scenes at Granddad Jack’s. During the visit, you’ll hear about the production side of the operation before moving into a guided tasting of the distillery’s spirits, including gin, whiskey, vodka and liqueurs. Nibbles are provided along the way. The experience is wheelchair accessible, suitable for all fitness levels, and public transport is available nearby.
