The southern suburbs of Western Australia are home to a diverse range of distilleries known for their exceptional craft spirits and immersive experiences. In Fremantle, the Republic of Fremantle stands out as a gin distillery housed in a historic 19th-century warehouse, offering visitors a taste of local history alongside signature drinks and culinary delights.
Venturing further south, breweries such as Eagle Bay and Shelter Brewing Co take advantage of the region's premium wine reputation to craft high-quality beers that are both refreshing and satisfying. The Great Southern Distilling Company is a standout player in the industry, with their Limeburners brand achieving global recognition for its outstanding quality.
At the heart of their production process is a dedication to using local ingredients like grains and water from limestone aquifers, as well as peat sourced from nearby bogs, resulting in whiskies with distinct flavor profiles. The company's Giniversity Gin, Tiger Snake Whiskey, and Dugite Whiskey embody the essence of Western Australia's terroir and commitment to sustainability, offering a unique tasting experience for spirits enthusiasts.
These distilleries go beyond just offering tastings, providing visitors with opportunities for tours, casual dining, and interactive experiences such as gin blending classes.
