Book

A confirmed booking is always best, but if you’re in a pinch, walk in if you are six or fewer and we will try our best. Bookings are essential for groups of seven or more.

What a FAR tasting is

Pick four from Gin No.1 Signature Blend, Hunter Valley Dry Gin, Semillon Slammer, Shiraz Gin and Limoncello. We pour them two at a time so you can taste them against each other, with Fever-Tree Mediterranean Tonic on the table, water, a spittoon and a printed tasting note. Every FAR spirit you taste is made at this address, alongside the Field of Mars Block 1 vineyard. Rather drink than taste? Three house cocktails at $15: a Gin and Tonic, a Shiraz Gin spritz and a Limoncello spritz.

Make an afternoon of it

The All in the Family Experience pours Keith Tulloch Wine, Aeon Wine and FAR in one seated session, with the family’s stories. About 45 minutes, $30 a person. Book the All in the Family Experience

Questions people ask

Can I bring children or my dog?

Yes. Children are welcome with you; tastings are for people aged 18 and over. Dogs are welcome inside and out on a leash.

Is there food?

Keith Tulloch Wine makes grazing plates ($32) to order at the cellar door.

What if I cannot manage the stairs?

The cellar door is upstairs with no lift or ramp. Tell us when you book or arrive and we will bring the tasting down to the Fireplace Terrace or a foyer table. Same pours, same price.

What if a gin has sold out?

Semillon Slammer and Shiraz Gin are made once a year with no restocks. If one has gone, you choose your four from what is still pouring.

Can I have bottles sent home?

Yes. All six FAR spirits are on the bar in 500ml bottles, and the online store ships Australia-wide, Tasmania included.

Can I arrive by helicopter?

Yes, there is a grass helipad at the winery. Landing needs approval in advance, so call 0401 328 394 before you fly.
