Cheers to New BeGINnings

Join us at King Island Distillery as we celebrate an exciting milestone: the expansion of the Tasmanian Hospitality Association's (THA) Great Customer Experience Program to our stunning island! This initiative represents a significant opportunity to elevate hospitality standards and highlight the unique charm of King Island. 

What began with a heartfelt inquiry from Happy Heidi about participation in the program has blossomed into a transformative journey. With key figures from THA, including CEO Steve Old and Southern Region Manager Jack Milbourne, we have engaged in meaningful discussions about enhancing our local offerings and celebrating the vibrant community surrounding us. 

As we embark on this GINspiring adventure together, we invite you to experience the essence of King Island through our artisanal spirits. Discover the magic of our distillery, indulge in tasting sessions, and immerse yourself in the rich culture that makes King Island a must-visit destination. Cheers to new beginnings and exceptional customer experiences island wide!
