Luxe Wine & Dine: Earp Distilling Co
Nestled in the harbourside suburb of Carrington in Newcastle, Earp Distilling Co has established the next generation of Australian spirits.
With more than 136 years of experience and six generations of familial hard work, the Earp family business has evolved many times, from grocers to tile suppliers. Their newest venture harnesses modern distilling technology to produce high-quality spirits with accuracy, control and consistency.
Walking through the doors of Earp Distilling Co is quite breath-taking. The most beautiful tile and stone products adorn every possible area, sourced through the core family business, Earp Bros, and the interiors have been designed and decorated with comfort and style in mind.
As well as the bar, Earp Distilling Co offers gin classes, distillery tours, tastings and private event bookings for those looking for a unique experience in the Newcastle area. Trust us, there is nothing quite like it!
Whether visiting for lunch during a weekend trip or catching up with friends on a night out, the menu will leave everyone satisfied. Of the belief that good company is best paired with great food, Earp Distilling Co has connected with some of the best local farmers to pay homage to fresh, seasonal produce, perfect for any discerning customer.
The seasonal menus all have a focus on farm-to-table freshness. Share a delectable Cheese Plate with all the trimmings over a few glasses of your favourite tipple. Or enjoy a Tuscan Panzanella Salad, an Italian classic with tomatoes, basil and whipped goat’s cheese, with a side of locally sourced brisket. If you have a sweet tooth, try the Vanilla & Bee Pollen Panna Cotta. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available upon request.
Pair your meal with top-shelf spirits from all over the world (with an emphasis on Australian distilleries, of course), or a curated wine list. You will be spoilt for choice!
If you are looking for more than a meal, how about trying your hand at Earp Distilling Co’s gin school. Tailored around the crafting of personalised gin, the classes are a bespoke experience with each guest utilising scaled versions of the main production still to create a spirit of their choice with personalised flavour profiles. And what could be better than taking home a bottle of your own tailored spirit at the end of the class?
A perfect setting, delectable food, gorgeous cocktails, guided tastings, distillery tours and a gin school. There is plenty of fun to be had at Earp Distilling Co. So, what are you waiting for!
