Cannot go pass a distillery anywhere. The tasting room in itself is worth a look plenty of lovely chesterfield furniture to lounge in and the gentlemen behind the bar were more than happy to gives all the details about how it works it is truly fascinating. The place was quite busy but we not rushed at all and given all the attention we needed. Only interested in the whiskey we tried two at $15 a tasting fortunately the one we liked was the cheaper one at $400 a bottle so we are talking serious short run high quality whiskey here they have the awards to go with the quality. Do not be put off buy the cost you only live once and the runs sell out. Looking forward to the Deutsche combination drop when it becomes available.

Gin & non-gin drinkers of the group were all equally happy here. A lovely setting in the garden, very good (and world-class award winning) gin flights, cocktails, liquor tastings available. A small selection of good food available. We were given ample information about the tastings as well.

The Prohibition Distillery and Tasting Room is Adelaide's only craft spirit tasting room with production and cellar door facilities on site. Grab one of our Gin flights and a tasting platter of local produce: antipasto, cheeses, dips or some gourmet toasties. The home of Adelaide's own, International award winning Prohibition Gin, the Prohibition Tasting Room is not to be missed in Adelaide's CBD.

Recommended to us by friends who know the owners and did not disappoint. Stylish venue with great staff who were very welcoming and knowledgeable. We tried a couple of the gin flights and have to say all the gins were exceptional. We also enjoyed the food which was high quality, well presented and really complimented the drinks. Always great to support small independent businesses like Prohibition. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for a good night out in Adelaide and something unique.

We stopped by for lunch on a recent trip to Renmark and we were so glad we were so glad we did! The food was delicious. So many menu options to suit everyone. We loved the pan seared squid and the crumbed camembert. We visited with our 4 kids and all enjoyed their meals. We sat outside as it was a nice day. The kids happily played on the grass. We had a tasting flight each which we thoroughly enjoyed and also got the kids juice/soft drink tastings which the kids thought was a great novelty. We purchased some bottles of whisky, vodka and rum after our tastings, you got $10 off a bottle if you had purchased a tasting flight.

Welcome to Ochre Nation Bar - Home of Applewood Distillery & Unico Zelo Wines. We can host small groups for tastings by appointment only. Contact us via email. Who are we? Applewood Distillery is South Australia’s hub and encouragement of Craft Gin. Not many know we make much more than our signature Applewood Gin. We also have a range of clients including: Prohibition Liquor, Barossa Distilling, Ounce Gin, Glen Ewin Estate Fig Gin, Brocken Spectre. Outside of Gin we also make Cello’s, Amaro’s and starting to get dabble in whisky. We love Australia, so much so that we want to embrace the Land we come from and use Australian botanicals and ingredients wherever possible. Whether that be in our Gin, amaros or within our Limited Editions. We want you and the world to experience these gifts from our great country. Unico Zelo is Inspired by an intense passion for the land, our wines are crafted to showcase unique sites and soils that Australia has to offer - in styles that are typified by the life and culture of this sunburnt country - from varieties that require minimal intervention. Following their passions for italian-inspired, textural and site-expressive wines, they seek to create Australian examples of Mediterranean varieties in an approachable and jovial fashion. We believe that these are the appropriate varieties for our country and what we should be known for. We support our local community with the Harvest Wine Co-op - Australia’s only operating growers co-op. What is this? It is a profit sharing initiative and effort to support farmers in financial hardship after unsustainable farming and wine industry practice.

I went to the Applewood Distillery with some friends and as a local I cannot believe I have not visited before! Thank you Sophia and Tom for the kind and friendly service with excellent knowledge of the different types of gin. I would recommend the gin collection with a food platter. There is also a Tesla recharging station for electric cars. I will definitely be returning sometime soon.

This is a very cool little spot, with lovely friendly staff and fantastic Gin and cocktails. We arrived on a very warm day, and had booked a table outside. The place was booked out, and we can see why. We tried 4 fantastic Gins on a wooden board, with tonic, ice and little garnishes to compliment each Gin. Each Gin was unique, with a wonderful subtle flavour. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and talked us through each Gin, briefly before we enjoyed the experience. You’re also given a sheet of paper with tasting notes. We are keen to go back and try the cocktails, as the party next to us ordered them, and they looked sensational. You can order the best woodfired pizza around; Ember pizza- next door, and they bring it over. It is the perfect place to while away the day in the sunshine. It’s definitely something different, and very welcome in amongst all the amazing wines in the region. Highly recommend!
