We’ve got 100 free tickets to the global gin festival, which returns to Melbourne this month. First in, best dressed.

Global gin festival Junipalooza is coming to the Melbourne Showgrounds from Friday October 20 to Sunday October 22, bringing together more than 50 distillers from Australia and abroad for unlimited tastings of top craft gins.

This year, there are nine new producers on the bill, including The Antipodes Gin Co, Brunswick Aces and Parrot Distilling. But you can also expect tastings from old faithfuls such as Victorian giant Four Pillars and Sydney’s Archie Rose, alongside international labels Warner’s Distillery (UK) and Strange Nature Spirits (NZ). Tonic is supplied by Midnight Mixers. Plus, a newcomer zone featuring distilleries less than six months old, including Burning Berries and Mischief Brew.

While you’re tasting, you’ll have the chance to meet the makers and learn about the distilling process.

Access has 100 free tickets to the event to give away. Claim yours using your members-only code via the link below.
