About Bass & Flinders Distillery

Set on Collins Road, Dromana, Bass & Flinders Distillery is a family-owned artisanal distillery driven by curiosity, craftsmanship and a spirit of adventure. Nestled on the Mornington Peninsula, the team produces their own grape-based spirit from scratch, forming the foundation of a refined range of vine-to-bottle gins, brandies, spirits and liqueurs. Pioneers of Australia’s Gin Masterclass, the experience extends to a relaxed food offering made for sharing—think local cheeses with house-made accompaniments, crisp arancini, tempura prawns and beef sliders on buttery brioche. Designed to pair effortlessly with signature serves and tasting paddles, it’s a place to sip, savour and linger a little longer.

A few words from Bass & Flinders Distillery

Nestled on the Mornington Peninsula, Bass & Flinders Distillery was founded in 2009 with a desire to take a grape-to-glass approach to distilling, transforming premium Victorian wine into expressive, locally inspired spirits. Family owned and operated, Bass & Flinders continues a hands-on approach to distilling, guided by heritage, craftsmanship, and care.

Bass & Flinders Distillery stands apart as one of Australia's few true grape-to-glass producers - where every spirit begins with premium Victorian wine grapes - not grain, nor neutral ethanol - a rare approach in Australia, making every bottle truly distinctive. Victorian wine is distilled in small batches using the traditional Charentais method, their spirits are smooth, rich and each drop reveals an elegance and depth that speaks to its origins. Drawing on artisanal craftsmanship, seasonal native botanicals and locally sourced ingredients, Bass and Flinders captures the vibrant flavours of Australia's landscapes in every sip.

This ode to their local surroundings carries through to their seasonal food menu, shaped by close partnerships with Mornington Peninsula producers, cheesemakers, and growers. These relationships inspire a rotating selection of shared plates and grazing boards, designed to showcase regional produce at its best. Your foodie experience can be further elevated through their Farm-to-Table Plate & Aperitif offering, pairing locally driven dishes with bespoke cocktails crafted to complement the flavours of the land.

Bass & Flinders are known for their fun and engaging experiences, including Australia's first Gin Masterclass established in 2014, where guests dive hands-on into the art of distillation and create their very own bespoke gin to take home. Their Bottomless Brunch brings people together over delicious cocktails, breakfast bites and long, leisurely afternoons, while the Gin High Tea offers a playful yet refined twist on a classic, pairing elegant sweet and savoury bites with perfectly matched gin serves. There's truly something for everyone, whether you're a curious first-timer or a seasoned spirits lover.

Their venue offers rooftop terrace views of Arthur's Seat and green pastures, and is just a hop, skip and jump away from local wineries.
