1. Sin Gin
Gin lovers, unite! An indispensable stop for every gin distillery tour Swan Valley includes the legendary Sin Gin distillery. Try various gins like Original Sin, Aquavit, the Seven Deadly Sins series, and Perth Pink.

They are open Saturdays and Sundays, allowing you to spend a weekend like no other. You also get to witness how their craft drinks are made and chat with the distilling team.
You’re bound to love the artisanal, handcrafted gin made by Kate and Mark. Kate Sinfield, whom the distillery is named after, brought her gin-making ideas from England in the 1980s. Today, Mark and Kate work with local products from Western Australia to make fun, tasty, and unique gins.
2. Limeburners and Giniversity in the Valley
The founder of Limeburners, Cameron Syme, has long been fascinated by the craftsmanship behind whiskey making. He started one of the area’s best craft spirit houses known for the one and only Limeburners Directors Cut Whiskey.

On the menu, you’ll find gin, whiskey, vodka, and beer. Of course, gin and whiskey are their must-tries. The distillery is open daily, so book your tour whenever you find it convenient – the hosts at Limeburners and Giniversity will be happy to walk you around!

5. Swan Valley Gin Company
The Swan Valley Gin Company is known across the Swan Valley for making some of the best artisan gin. The distillers use premium Pandemonium Estate grapes as a wine base and the finest local fruits and botanicals. One of the founders, Martin Buck, attended spirit production courses at Adelaide University in 2017, and it was not long after that he obtained his license. The first Artisan Dry Gin followed, and the Swan Valley Gin company was formed along with Jordan Thomas. They are open Saturdays and Sundays.
