Locals are in for a treat with an upcoming Gin and Food Pairing Event that promises to celebrate regional flavours through a unique collaboration between a local venue and boutique 74 Islands Distillery
Set just a few weeks away, the event will feature six carefully matched dishes, created by chefs from both Club Whitsunday and 74 Islands Distillery, paired with four gins, two vodkas, and two cocktails crafted with 74 Islands spirits. The distillery, located just up the hill from Club Whitsunday, produces both dry and botanical gins, distilled using traditional and rainwater methods, as well as smooth locally made vodka.
“This is our first food and drink pairing event, and we really wanted to partner with someone local,” said Club Whitsunday General Manager Josh Prowse.
“Guests will enjoy food and drinks designed to complement each other, plus a cocktail finale featuring custom recipes from 74 Islands’ bar manager.”
Bookings are already rolling in, with strong early interest and Josh is looking forward to the event.
Tickets are priced at $120 offering a full evening of food, drinks, and a celebration of local produce. Josh said that nobody will leave the event hungry or thirsty and it’s a great opportunity to have a high quality afternoon while supporting two local businesses.
Bookings are essential and can be made via the QR code on the event flyer.
