Gindu is a proudly Australian multi-award-winning distillery right in the heart of Woodend in the Macedon Ranges.

We make gin, and not just gin but great gin. We focus all of our effort on celebrating Australia by only using Australian native botanicals in our gins – all Australian except Juniper.

This makes us different and also unique. Our gins have won numerous awards including Best Dry Gin at the Australian Gin Awards in 2021 and at the Oscars of our industry in San Francisco at the 2022 World Spirits Competition, two of our gins won Double Gold.

Visit our new distillery door and enjoy a tasting paddle or even sip the day/night away with a gin cocktail.

The team at Gindu are lovely, they were extremely accommodating with our large group, including providing some assistance with a birthday cake and candles that I had bought along which I was quite disorganised about! Nothing was too much trouble and the Strawberry Smash cocktail special was absolutely delicious. Thank you for having us!
