Spirit, Elixir, Fire: MFWF 2026 at Rothwell Distillery
One ingredient, three ways, 5 courses. Experience flavours distilled, infused and fired in this one-off sensory experience!
Celebrate Australia's native botanicals in spirit form alongside a contemporary barbecue at Rothwell Distillery's newly revamped cellar door in the prime agrarian setting of historic Mt Rothwell Estate.
Rothwell Distillery is one of Australia’s premier paddock-to-bottle gin distillery, growing, harvesting, fermenting and distilling crops and botanicals grown in the foothills of the You Yangs in all its spirits. They'll star here in tastings and cocktails paired with a five-course dégustation prepared by chef Bart Beek of Essence BBQ Labs in this feast of local delights.
Expect small plates such as gin-cured kingfish and flame-charred chicken inasal, and larger dishes of fire-roasted lamb shoulder and barbecued kangaroo.
Additional drinks including cocktails, beer and wine will be available for extra. Most dietaries can be catered for upon request, please email through requests when booking.
For those who want the full food, spirit and cocktail pairing, select the "Spirit, Fire, Elixir" or "Spirit, Fire, Elixir + SHUTTLE BUS" ticket options.
For anyone who wishes not to consume alcohol whether for personal reasons or is their group's designated driver, we suggest the "Captain Sensible - FOOD ONLY" ticket.
If purchasing the "Spirit, Fire, Elixir" or "Captain Sensible - FOOD ONLY" tickets, you must organise your own transport to/from Rothwell Distillery. We have plenty of available parking, however do note that being on the outskirts of Melbourne/Geelong, rideshare services are often unavailable.
The "Spirit, Fire, Elixir + SHUTTLE BUS" option includes a shuttle bus that will pick you up and return you to Little River train station (serviced by the Melbourne-Geelong V-Line Service)
