World Gin Day is currently in its 6^th year and this year one of the only venues hosting it in Australia will be the iconic Gin Palace on Saturday June 13th 2015.

The event which will also be running in the United Kingdom, London and Cyprus is the biggest day on the Gin Palace calendar. Assistant venue manager Ella Neilson has long been preparing for the event and is excited that it has finally come around.

“It’s shaping up to be the biggest day of the year (or maybe ever) for us.”

Working in bars basically since she reached 18, Ella says she loves Gin Palace because of the wide variety of just one type of alcohol.

“Gin comes in so many different brands and flavors which not many people realize. We have whole walls filled with different gins and this event is the perfect way to showcase what we can do with them!”

Since its establishment in 1997, Gin Palace has been known as a luxurious den that is an escape from the everyday hustle and bustle of the rest of Melbourne City, and this event will be no different.

One of the main messages of the event however is that luxury doesn’t have to break the bank.

“Bring a friend and Gin Palace will buy them a Gin drink for every one you purchase until the gin runs out.”

Along with this two for one offer there will be events such as gin breakfasts, masterclasses and taste tests running throughout the day making the venue a hub of activity.

“We are opening to the public from 12pm instead of 4pm so that we can make the most of such an exciting day and offer lots of fun, interesting events.”

Ella and all of those working at Gin Palace expect this event to be a way to put Australia, and Gin, on the map.
