SYDNEY GIN PALOOZA  21, 22, 23  24 November 2019

The AGDA promotes Australian craft gin distillers in several ways. We manage the annual Australian Gin Awards and a number of public events across Australia and also Auckland New Zealand. We encourage the education of gin drinkers by including master classes in the events and promoting the fact that attendees at the festivals can have discussions with the distillers to learn more about the product and how to drink responsibly. All of our events are listed and detailed atginevents.com.auWe acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country throughout Australia and pay our respects to Elders past and present.

<H2 CLASS="MsoNormal">WHAT'S A PALOOZA? </H2>
The Universal meaning of Palooza is Fun-Filled festival of Gin. True!
You all know that GIN is now the most trending beverage and that the variations of the G&T or Gin cocktail are absolutely endless. We recognise this so we invited 38 of the finest Craft Gin distillers to beautiful Sydney to give you a taste of their new &amp; exclusive releases including their Christmas releases and their award-winning Gins.
Of course hosting the largest Sydney Gin Festival of the year we needed the best tapas Sydney can offer, so we invited 4 of Sydney's top Tapas makers to join us at the Paddington Town Hall for a HUGE 4 day festival. 
This event is inviting all Gin-lovers from all over Australia to join us in Sydney to sip on Gin &amp; gorge on tapas.

<H2>Master Class with BILL LARK - $185 p/p</H2>
Meet BILL LARK (Australia's Godfather of modern Craft Distilling) and Chairman of the Australian Gin Awards. Given the amazing emergence of Australian gin in recent years, Bill will give you a little history of this very popular spirit and will present the six trophy-winning gins for you to taste, discuss and perhaps mix with a little tonic!. These winners have been selected by nine industry judges from an estimated 180 Australian craft gins and Bill will take you through the tasting and explain how these winners were made and why they are trophy winners.

Master Class GINIVERSITY - $140 p/p  
Giniversity invites you to invigorate your taste buds and refine your botanical blending skills with a Giniversity Experience. Led by Founder and Master Distiller Cameron Syme who’s travelling all the way from Margaret River, the master class is a customised slice of what you can experience at Giniversity’s home, Margaret River Distilling Company, when you enrol in the Giniversity Experience.
Brimming with flavour as only Margaret River can do it; the class will explore just how far you can push the boundaries of your favourite white spirit (GIN) while letting your creative juices flow.
This unique cocktail experience will allow you to mix and match flavours like a master distiller – blending botanical distillates before pairing your creation with the distillery’s house-made fruit shrub and finishing it off with your choice of dehydrated garnish. 
StrangeLove premium tonic waters and canapés will add to the cocktail experience. You will leave the class with a unique hand-crafted cocktail and a wealth of knowledge around the intricacies of gin, well prepared to explore the GIN PALOOZA.

Master Class with KARU DISTILLERY (High Tea) - $140 p/p
Love a good High tea?   Well you can Join Nick and Ally the KARU Distillers and their High G&Tea party but first their love for Juniper! You will learn the importance of the tiny berry and its powerful profiles which vary from country to country and what they have to offer and how the different region of berry affects the flavour profile. You’ll explore the percentages of alcohol and just how much of a difference a percent can make to a gin. Sample the KARU Affinity Gin at both 44% and 40% and taste the massive difference.  Then have some fun at the Karu High G&Tea Party where you will learn to use a premium cocktail infusion poured from an elegant glass tea pot and be spoilt with a delicious Affinity Gin Chocolate from Treat Dreams. Oh swoon…!  After the masterclass you receive entry into the Meet Your Maker session immediately following the class as part of your entry cost.

<H3>GENERAL QUESTIONS: </H3>
Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event? Yes. As alcohol is at the event, you must be over 18 to attend. Please bring a valid form of identification with you on the day just to be sure (Driving license, Student ID, etc.) 
Are children permitted at the event? No. This is an over 18's event and we want 'you' to relax and have fun.
Will tickets be available on the door? Maybe, maybe not. We cap the numbers to ensure everyone has a great time and it’s not too crazy. We strongly suggest buying tickets prior to ensure you don’t miss out.
Is there a refund policy? Sorry, no refunds although you can give your ticket/s to your friend/s or change your day.
Do I need to print the tickets? Yes, highly recommended. But, you can also use the Eventbrite app and / or show us your ticket on your mobile phone at entry.
Tasting, Not Drinking! Our events are not for getting drunk, rather think of our events as a tasting. We want you to experience as many different Gin styles on offer and although we are not going to tell you how much you can drink, creating a safe, welcoming and non-intimidating event environment is what we’re all about. Any inappropriate behaviour, of an intoxicated nature or not, that is dangerous to yourself and or others, is just not acceptable and we reserve the right to take appropriate action and have you removed from the venue. That said, let's have some fun!
