Enjoy the combination of tasty local cuisine and artisan spirits at our cellar door — the perfect setting for a leisurely lunch or a relaxed afternoon.
Our Distillery
Down South Distillery was formed around passion, inspiration, and love for everything Down South. Our story began with having uncharted and brave conversations of what it could be to create a gin that defined the norms.
Crafting a gin that was contrary to traditional guidelines and recipe structure, the fun and excitement of experimentation and innovation began.
And so begins our journey.
Making out-of-the norm gin recipes, not rushing these along, but rather taking our time for our Spirits to develop and emerge.
And after many trials, experiments, variations, and adjustments, we finally found what we had been looking for: a smooth, full-bodied spirit that incorporated an abundance of botanical aroma, the mark of our Premium Spirits.
Our
Cellar Door
Situated at the former Agostino Wines location, 40 Stonehouse Lane, Aldinga, we welcome you to visit our distillery’s cellar door, where you can enjoy our smooth, full-bodied Gins in the relaxed atmosphere found Down South.
A perfect way to spend a few hours in the afternoon exploring our Gin Tasting Flight, or perhaps a cheeky Gin & Tonic or two over lunch.
Enjoy your Spirits in an authentic atmosphere, and let time stand still for a moment.
Gin not your thing? That’s OK! We proudly have a variety of wines that are sure to tickle anyone’s fancy, as well as craft beers, non-alcoholic beer/cider, mocktails, and much, much more.
