East Gippsland Bancroft Bay Distillery – Premium Craft Spirits from East Gippsland

At Bancroft Bay Distillery, we’re proud to be recognised as the best distillery in East Gippsland. Based in the stunning coastal village of Metung, known as the jewel of East Gippsland, our craft distillery celebrates the region through every bottle we create.

Our first two signature East Gippsland gins are inspired by iconic local landmarks:

  • Shaving Point East Gippsland Gin
  • Chinamans Creek Asian-Inspired Gin

We are deeply committed to using locally sourced ingredients and botanicals from across the East Gippsland region. Some of our key local partnerships include:

  • Lemon myrtle and mountain pepperberry from Errinundra
  • Red gum and orange blossom honeys from Tambo Valley Honey
  • Fresh pears from Cassilis
  • Artisan coffee and nuts from Nicholson

By collaborating with passionate local suppliers and producers, we aim to craft the highest quality small-batch spirits that reflect the true essence of East Gippsland.

At Bancroft Bay Distillery, it’s all about local flavour, sustainable practices, and celebrating the richness of our region—one sip at a time.
