This isn’t just another Mother’s Day. This is an exclusive afternoon at our Distillery Door, designed with the utmost attention to detail and care. It’s about carving out time, sharing stories over cocktails, and treating that very special person in your life to something she didn’t even know she wanted.
A luxurious cocktail high tea experience complete with Prosecco on arrival, layered with exquisite sweet and savoury bites sourced from local artisans, and finished with handcrafted cocktails.
Any mums who come along will receive an exclusive gift pack of thoughtfully selected items from premium local brands - including candles from Red Hill Candle Co, gin from Bass & Flinders, and more.

Why Experiences make the Best Gifts
We believe the best gifts don't sit on a shelf - they live in your memory.
Gifting an experience - especially a shared one, creates a lasting legacy that you'll both remember. It's about time well spent, thoughtful indulgence and a little bit of luxury.
If you can't make it to a Mother's Day experience you can still share the magic with our Gin Gift Packs, and Experience vouchers or mum's favourite gin:
