This former timber yard has been transformed into a fully functioning gin distillery over 700 square metres, featuring our two German sister-stills Wilma and Jude, (and soon their miniature sister Eileen) and a new hospitality space showcasing the many facets of gin. At the Distillery Door you'll find all styles of Four Pillars Gins for tasting and sale, a long copper bar serving paddles of G&T three ways, design-your-own Negronis, Ginger Mules (gin and ginger beer), really good nuts and olives, gin-steamed marmalade on toast, great coffee and even beer and wine if you ask real nice. We have seating both inside and out and also regularly host masterclasses run by our distiller and Healesville local, Cameron Mackenzie, the heart and soul of Four Pillars Gin. Details of our next masterclasses and events are always available on our Facebook page and on our website. Four Pillars Gin launched in December 2013 and has gone on to win a swag of awards at home and around the globe.
Four pillars was the first stop for us on our day trip to Healesville. We each chose to try the tasting paddles, which came with a tonic water mixer and matching garnishes. The waitresses were very well educated on their products, giving us a run down on each one before we tasted. We also received a special extra tasting of the Christmas gin! We fell in love with the ‘bloody Shiraz’, a surprisingly refreshing gin with a touch of tonic water. The cheese board was a nice little accompaniment, overall a fantastic experience and great distillery!

A pristine piece of Australiana nestled in the Blackspur ranges. Amazing to realise this was a Cobb and Co stopover and a vibrant little town, once upon a time. There are the most beautiful European trees towering among the eucalyptus, even an ancient cork tree!

Independent, mad keen brewers, passionate about great beer. Come and let us pour you a beer at the cellar door while we enjoy the view of the shiny stainless steel of the brewhouse. Now also serving pizza. Based in Healesville, at the heart of the Yarra Valley.
We visited Watts River Brewing for the first time because we had won a beer tasting there (by completing a survey after the Hop Fest event late last year, where we first tried their beers). I rarely drink beer but even I enjoyed the tasting. My husband thought the beers were excellent and that they had a very good range. Aaron ran a great tasting experience and was very generous - going beyond the prize package to offer us additional drinks and food. The brewery has a relaxed, informal atmosphere with tables and chairs where visitors can enjoy the beers and some food. We'd recommend visiting Watts River Brewing - you can even reach it in a couple of hours by public transport from Melbourne (bring a backpack to carry some purchases home!).

don't read the bad reviews. Seriously people, what is wrong with you? if you want more than $18 worth of joy go somewhere that charges more than $18. I can count at LEAST 18 things that gave me a dollar worth of joy at this place. 1) fat healthy chickens. One of them bit my kid. Life lessons. right there. 2) a really loud sheep that baa'd so loud it made the kid giggle and forget that a chicken bit her. 3) lawn jenga. Bring a bike helmet if your kid is younger than four. 4) trust maze. Blindfold the dad and make the kids guide him through. That's at least three dollars of giggles. 5) big mother maze. It's big, it's old it's tired. It had hipsters filming something with an old telephone and a candle in it. there are quotes from wise people and lots of puddles. Take gumboots. 6) you can climb a tower at the end and pretend you are royalty. 7) the rainbow maze. Math nerds go nuts. that thing gets hard. easy bits to entertain the kid while dad runs patterns in his head 7) a tangled rope course. I'll pay a dollar any day to watch my kid concentrate for 20 minutes. 8) a mural with hidden things in it. Not just any mural, a photo of a mural. It has Australiana? are you a tourist? look for the hills hoist. We couldn't find the scissors. 9) i beat my super competitive parter and mini golf. 10) number 12 has a loop the loop tire and you get to bash it really hard. 11) frisbee golf. Numbers on poles in a paddock. 12) there were kangaroos in the paddock too. 13) amazing background of mountains behind the numbers on sticks and kangaroos in the paddock. 14) toasted sandwiches and jelly in the cafe. 15) a donation box for a kid with no explanation. It had football cards. 16) fossil digging in the sand. My kid thinks all those fossils are real and that dinosaurs roamed the maze. 17) stables and a marquee. You can get married there and then play frisbee golf at your reception and get drunk and lost in the maze with the dinosaurs 18) edible bush tucker garden. Go here. find your inner kid. it is fun.
