Christmas Spirits with the Women Who Make Them

Overview

Women in Distilling: Christmas Spirits and Stories is a festive evening celebrating the talent, creativity, and craft of the women shaping the Canberra Region community. Hosted by Spirits CBR, this special event invites guests to enjoy a relaxed panel conversation, guided tastings, and a Christmas drink overlooking Lake Burley Griffin at the Canberra and Region Visitors Centre.

Guests will meet local women distillers, hear their stories, and learn about the techniques and inspirations behind their spirits. The session includes a curated tasting of locally made gin, whisky, liqueurs, and seasonal favourites, offering the perfect chance to discover new flavours for festive entertaining or gift giving.

Following the panel and tasting, guests are invited to stay for a casual end-of-year drink, ask questions, and connect with the region's distilling community. Light bites and nibbles will be provided.

This event is part of Discover Spirits CBR, a collaborative program showcasing the depth and diversity of distilleries across Canberra and the surrounding region in partnership with Visit Canberra. Whether you're a spirits enthusiast, a curious beginner, or simply looking for a unique Christmas experience, this welcoming session offers a memorable way to celebrate the season while supporting local makers.
