Arguably the most spirited event of the season, The Fever-Tree & Howard Smith Wharves Gin and Tonic Festival is coming to Brisbane from Thursday April 28 to Sunday May 1. Thirsty folk can expect 18 booze-making brands to pop up at the festival including some of Australia’s top-tier gin creators and distilleries. Taste-test drops from boutique gin crafters like Four Pillars Gin, Archie Rose Distilling Co. and Never Never Distilling Co, all of which will be paired with Fever-Tree tonics and mixers. From Queensland, there will be Wolf Lane Distillery from Cairns, Sunshine & Sons from the Sunshine Coast and Kalki Moon Distillery & Brewing Company from Bundaberg, plus many more.

Along with endless gin-and-tonic combos, there will also be mouth-watering food options from some of Howard Smith Wharves’ favourite eateries, live tunes, and workshops and talks with a bevy of gin experts. Tickets include entry to the festival, six mini G&Ts worth $20 and free neat gin sampling.
