Margaret River Distilling Company is the home of Giniversity Gin, and sister distillery to Great Southern Distilling Company in Albany which produces the award-winning Limeburners, Tiger Snake and Dugite Whiskies. Tucked away amongst the native Peppermint trees, Margaret River Distilling Company is based in the heart of Margaret River just a short stroll from the centre of town. Enjoy a delicious meal and a tasting flight of premium spirits, or one of their scrumptious cocktails. Locally roasted coffee and a selection of local beers and wines are also available.
Master Distiller and Founder Cameron Syme has been distilling premium craft spirits since 2005, for the most part in Albany until Margaret River Distilling Company officially opened for business in November 2015. 

All products produced are available to taste in the venue, offering casual tavern-style dining all day in a lush forest backdrop and just a short walk from the town centre. With an extensive range of tastings available there is sure to be something for everyone, including Single Malt Whisky, American style Whiskey, Gin, Vodka, and other special limited edition spirits. To satisfy every need there is also a range of locally-sourced beer, wine, cider, coffee, and an all-day menu to keep the whole family happy. Plus they are dog-friendly!

If you have ever wanted to be a Distiller for a day, then the Giniversity experiences are the perfect way to give it a try. The Blending class takes you through the history of gin, learn spirit-making practices, sample the Giniversity range, and then design and blend your own bespoke recipe. Each participant then takes home their own custom 500ml bottle of gin. 

Accommodation is available at the adjoining Riverglen Chalets, which is located just across the brook. For bookings and enquiries visit the website or call 08 9757 9351.

This is one of my go-to spots whenever I visit Margaret River, and it's undoubtedly the best place for a delicious meal and a fantastic drink. My top recommendation is the fungi pizza—it's a must-try! The dough is perfectly crispy and flavorful, the cheese is rich and tasty, and the mushrooms are exceptional. The Ginimary, a gin twist on the classic Bloody Mary, is superb—refreshing and packed with flavor. The service is attentive, professional, and incredibly friendly. The outdoor seating offers a peaceful, nature-filled vibe, while the indoor space is stylish and beautifully decorated. You'll see me again soon. Thanks for creating this gem!

A delightful way to spend a Saturday afternoon. It has an ambience full of vitality, with a strong dose of laughter. The staff are cheerful, knowledgeable, and pleasant. It is well worth a drop in for a tipple or a meal.

Excellent, brilliant. Can’t fault this place. Service was great, extremely knowledgeable staff. Food was to die for. Had the tofu and the ribs with entrees of whisky nuts and warmed olives. All dairy free. Definitely worth a look if you’re done this way.
