Gin, native botanicals, coastal flavours and stories of place. Meet the Makers behind Dunalley Bay Distillery in a hyperlocal dining event celebrating Turrakana/Tasman Peninsula produce.

Enjoy a four‑course dinner curated by chef, John Churchill, that brings together craft gin, native botanicals and Asian‑influenced coastal cuisine. As you dine, Sandra and Mark from Dunalley Bay Distillery will share stories of their distilling journey and the regeneration of the Dunalley community after the 2013 bushfires.

Set against the sweeping views from 1830 Restaurant, the evening offers an immersive dining experience shaped by the seasonal shift into autumn.

  • Welcome cocktail on arrival and a four-course seasonal menu inspired by Asian coastal cuisine
