SPIRITS EXPERIENCE

At Itinerant Spirits, the journey is as important as the destination. Our ‘Spirits Explorer Session’ presents you with an opportunity to discover not only our craft spirits, but the origins of the raw ingredients that we source from across Western Victoria, and the unique methods we use to distil our spirits. 

Our ingredients include hand-foraged botanicals from the Grampians, grains harvested from the Mallee and Wimmera regions and then malted right here in Ballarat, as well as locally sourced volcanic water to proof all of our spirits.

Journey with us and witness our copper stills, learn of our on-grains distilling method and taste just why believe the proof is in the spirit!

SPIRITS EXPLORER SESSION

AN EXPEDITION IN TASTE AND TIME

DURATION: 75 minutes
COST: $49 per person

YOUR JOURNEY BEGINS HERE
It all starts, as many great journeys do, in an unassuming place: a historic 1860s Goods Shed tucked into the heart of Western Victoria. Trains once rumbled through — today, it’s spirits that move through here.

At Itinerant Spirits, we don’t just offer tastings — we offer an adventure. Step into a working distillery alive with the scent of wild botanicals, volcanic water, and malted grains from the Mallee and Wimmera.

WHAT’S INCLUDED:

  • Gallivanter G&T or Vansetter Vodka & Soda on arrival.
  • Short history of our 1860s Goods Shed, Ballarat’s whisky heritage, and Western Victoria’s rich food bowl.
  • Guided tasting of four house spirits:
  • Gallivanter Gin
  • Vansetter Vodka
  • New-Make Wayfarer Whiskey
  • Vansetter Coffee Liqueur
  • Behind-the-scenes distillery tour covering our gin, vodka, and whiskey-making processes, plus the story of Itinerant Spirits and our three bold spirit brands.

SAVOUR THE FLAVOURS OF WESTERN VICTORIA:

First, take a guided walk through our distillery, where copper stills glint in the afternoon light and the air hums with the energy of creation. You'll learn firsthand about the craft of gin distillation, vodka making, and whiskey production — rooted in tradition, but driven by discovery.

  • Spirits shaped by volcanic aquifers and hand-foraged botanicals from the Grampians
  • Grains malted in Ballarat and distilled using time-honored, on-grain techniques

You’ll hear the ring of copper. Smell the heart of the distillation cut and most importantly — you'll taste why the proof of our spirits is found not just in the bottle, but in the journey itself.
