Applewood Distillers in the Adelaide Hills is a great spot to finish your day tasting their native flavoured gins. Never Never in McLaren Vale sits high on a hill with breathtaking views over the vale and an amazing lawn to let the kids run free while tasting. In the Barossa you will find Seppeltsfield Road Distillers sitting on the side of a hill with deck upon deck and then the bar in a shipping container at the top. These are just a few of the many locations around that showcase how interesting and diverse the tastes and cellars of the gin industry have become.
