Events

We’d love to have you come enjoy the LWF Distilling experience in person. We are a working distillery, so if you don’t see an event when you’re here get in contact and we’ll see if we can accommodate you.

On this page are some up coming events – we have simple tours and tastings, blend your own bottle and even cocktail creation events that can be organised to suit varying group sizes. We have food partners and can even do a cooking and cocktail event if you so desire.

We’re always keen to work with you on private, corporate, team building or social club events – just contact us
