Ambleside Distillers

A really wonderful place to unwind and enjoy a drink. The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable of their products. The gins were very nice, and came with great pairings - we didn't try the food but the options looked tempting. The venue is in a fantastic location and takes full advantage of its surrounds - worth a visit.

Very relaxing environment to take the family. Accommodating for the little puppy. Service was exceptional. Food lovely, Gin was great. Looking forward in returning again soon.

Great place to spend some time chilling out and enjoying the luxuries our good life here in SA allows us. Beautiful Gins and tasty well presented food and nibble platters of local produce. Beer & soft drink options but no wine. Friendly, efficient, not pompous but knowledgeable staff top it off.Update March 22: Renovations look great & provide much more space now. Drinks take quite a while to come out (on multiple visits). Tasty additions to the menu, but the chicken terrine “to share” is a bit misleading

A quality little distillery in the heart of Hahndorf - has been great watching them growMy partner and I love gin, and this place delivers some quality flavours consistently whilst surrounding themselves in a beautiful environmentA must attend for gin lovers

We dropped in for a drink and cheese plate. Lovely gin and outdoor space to sit and enjoy the scenery. However the $28 cheese plate was very average. Both cheeses had very little flavour, the crackers were the same, and the walnuts didn’t pair well with either cheese. Lots of dried fruit. Wouldn’t order again.

Living in Hahndorf just a stone throw from Ambleside Distillers we have each variety of gin in our collection at home. The cocktails available are to die for, with friendly and helpful staff. Set on the most picturesque land with stunning views the decor of the stylish building is a must seeWe love the diverse variety of gins and promote this distillery to out customers when they are heading to Riverglen Marina to start their Wow Factor HolidayInternational and Interstate guests often incorporate Ambleside Distillers into their tour of the Adelaide Hills and hopefully share a bottle or two during their holiday

Dropped in for a Gin flight on a Wintry Saturday afternoon. Gin was amazing. A great citrus mock-tail. Surprising favourite was their strongest gin with coffee beans, jalapeño chilli and tonic. A really winner! Staff were great. Venue very stylish and pleasant.

Booked in for a Gin flight and some food for Mother’s Day on Sunday. Gin was delicious and staff were excellent. Really accommodating for my food allergies and really attentive. We had a great time and felt really looked after. Will be back!

I attended the Kim Churchill concert on the lawns here recently and had such a lovely time. After a tough day at work, the ballads of Kim Churchill and Trav Collins were the right panacea definitely. The ambience, the view, the music all made for a really enjoyable evening. We had a rug, but warm ones were passed around later as the temperature dropped. I had a dry gin and tonic with jalapeño and Comida (Hahndorf) were there making Paella - both versions of Original and Vegetarian. What more could you want? The Paella had all the crunchy, crisp bits that apparently make the dish and I must say I enjoyed both versions because we had both, but preferred the OG of chorizo and chicken just because that’s an unbeatable combination, with the spiciness of the chorizo in the mix!Both plugged and unplugged, Kim Churchill sang and entertained; regaling the audience with lessons he’d learned on his musical adventures. Switching effortlessly from ballads of narrative to a vintage Led Zeppelin, I didn’t recognise, but not an aficionado, Kim played guitar with verve, adding harmonica from time to time. Many people got up for the Led Zeppelin and many people wanted to meet the musician face to face in conversation mode, which he’d encouraged earlier. I bought a tea towel because you can never have too many tea towels!I will return gladly to any concerts they hold at Ambleside- for the atmosphere, the view, the music, the gin and the all round vibe. It was indeed a great, well organised night. Much enjoyed by my group, but by all as far as I could see…
