Pomona Distilling Co.

The Verdict

At any time of the day, we take peace knowing it’s gin-o’clock somewhere in the world. But since Pomona Distilling Co. opened, we’ve been wishing it was socially acceptable to be drinking all the gin, all day long.

Set off the main street of Pomona in what used to be an old bakery 100 years ago, this beaut of a spot is like no other distillery we’ve seen this year. Still incorporating the original brickwork of the building, the entire venue has been completely rebuilt using heritage timbers and any other reclaimed materials possible.

But what really surprised us about this place was all the different spaces within it (all available to hire if you’re planning an upcoming event). Once you’ve found your way through the beautiful bistro—and probably succumbed to the urge of all the delish smells coming from the kitchen—you’ll find yourself overlooking a massive garden arbour sprawling even further onto a lush grassy lawn. 

But the real star of the show at Pomona Distilling Co. has got to be their four hand crafted spirits, including a Signature Dry Gin, Pink Gin, Butterfly Pea Flower Gin and their Vodka. Drink them with the usual suspects or try one of the moreish cocktails on offer.
