Big Tree Distillery Gin Tastings 

Embark on a farm gate adventure and experience the taste of award-winning, farm-crafted gin at Big Tree Distillery. Nestled on picturesque Jack’s Springs Farm in the heart of the Macedon Ranges, our distillery door, deck, and lush garden provide the perfect setting to sip and savour premium Australian gin.

Big Tree Distillery is dedicated to producing small-batch, homegrown gin that celebrates the beauty of the Australian landscape. Our gins are not only crafted with care but also presented in exquisite bottles featuring artwork by local artist Sarah Gabriel and renowned botanical artist David Reynolds—designed to be treasured long after the gin is gone.

Distillery Door Gin Tastings & Experience

Just a short drive from Hanging Rock, our distillery welcomes you to sample our award-winning range of gins while soaking up the relaxed country atmosphere. Enjoy a guided tasting experience and learn about the botanicals and seasonal ingredients—many foraged or grown right here on the farm—that make our gins so special.

For the ultimate experience, embark on a gin flight—a curated tasting of our signature gins that showcase the depth and diversity of our craft.

Pair your gin tasting with one of our delicious Big Tree picnic boxes, featuring a selection of local cheeses, olives, salami, nuts, and crisp snacks.
