You Could Win the Ultimate Gin Getaway with Never Never Distilling Co.

Cool Sh*t / 23 April 2025

Australia’s most awarded gin makers, Never Never Distilling Co., are putting the fizz back in your Friday arvo G&T.

They’ve just launched The Great Aussie G&T—a nationwide celebration of our favourite citrusy sip—and it comes with a major perk: the chance to win the ultimate gin-lovers getaway to McLaren Vale, South Australia. Think sunshine, juniper, and a helicopter over the vines. Yep, this one’s worth raising a glass to.

The prize is as extra as your mate who owns a soda stream and four types of bitters. You and a lucky plus-one will score return flights from your nearest capital city, a luxe stay at the architecturally drool-worthy Ukiyo House in Port Willunga, a heli transfer straight to Never Never’s McLaren Vale HQ (boujee much?), a boozy long lunch and guided tasting, plus a private car transfer back to your dreamy digs. This is golden hour with a garnish.

“There’s nothing quite like a gin and tonic at golden hour with a view over one of Australia’s most spectacular vistas,” says co-founder Sean Baxter. “This is an experience that captures everything we love about a great G&T—refreshing, effortless, with a view to boot.”

Here’s how to enter:

  1. Head to a participating venue and order a Never Never G&T (hard work, we know).

  2. Scan the QR code or visit neverneverdistilling.com.au/great-aussie-gandt.

  3. Tell them— in 25 words or less—your ultimate G&T moment. Poetic license encouraged.

Bars and venues across NSW, VIC, and QLD are already slinging Great Aussie G&Ts. A few front-runners include:

  • The Loose Moose, Broadbeach QLD

  • Iris Rooftop, Fortitude Valley QLD

  • Le Bon Ton, Collingwood VIC

  • PJ O’Brien’s, Southbank VIC

  • The Belvedere, Sydney NSW

  • Avoca Beach Bowling Club, NSW

More venues are jumping on board weekly, with Never Never giving shoutouts to standout spots across their socials.

Entries close 31st May, and the winner has until the end of the year to claim their epic escape. So gather your mates, find your local, and get sipping. Who knew your next G&T could come with a side of helicopter?
