IF tasting specialty and locally made gins while being a part of a record-breaking event from all around the country is your thing, this is the event for you.<\/p>\n

The team at Gintonia are leading the charge and hosting the Ginormous Gin Tasting at a variety of venues across the country on the same day and at the same time.<\/p>\n

Ballarat residents can join in on the festivities and be a part of a record-breaking afternoon at Lola at The Provincial Hotel on Sunday, 22 November between 3pm and 5.30pm.<\/p>\n

Event organiser David Box said while it would be exciting to break the Guinness World Record for the largest gin tasting event across multiple venues, it will also be a great way to re-group after a challenging year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about re-connecting gin lovers with Aussie gin distilleries and bars across the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe hope by staging this event, craft gin lovers will have a good reason to get out and enjoy themselves, but more importantly lend a hand to all those distilleries and bars who have been hit hard.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe added bonus is we plan to ignite our very own Gin Ashes and knock the current world record holders, the Poms, off their perch.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to Lola hosting the city\u2019s branch of the event, Ballarat\u2019s own Kiderkin Gin will join with over 50 Australian gin distilleries in the tasting festivities.<\/p>\n

Not only will you be awarded a Guinness World Records certificate of participation, but if you secure a ticket to the event for $75, you\u2019ll also have access to a curated tasting of gins and tonics by an expert, a commemorative gin glass and Gintonica discounts.<\/p>\n
