Day 1: Wednesday
After an early lunch, your private driver will pick you up from your city hotel and whisk you away to the exquisite Finniss River Lodge, just an hour and a half drive away. Upon arrival, you will be greeted with a welcome drink as you take in the stunning surroundings and check into your luxurious room.
After some relaxation, join the crew for the delightful Cows & Canapes experience, which begins around 5 pm. Savor gourmet canapés featuring local flavors and snap photos with the majestic Brahman cattle. Return to the lodge to freshen up before indulging in a decadent dinner paired with fine drinks, rounding off your day in true luxury.
Day 2: Thursday
Indulge in a luxurious morning at your leisure: perhaps sleep in, or savor a freshly brewed coffee in bed while soaking in the breathtaking view. Throughout the day, embrace relaxation by the poolside, retreat to the lounge with a captivating book, or unwind with a soothing bath.
Your unique native botanical foraging experience can be scheduled for either the morning or afternoon. Accompanied by your guide, you’ll explore the landscape by buggy, searching for Quinine, Ti Tree, Turkey Bush, Paperbark, Waterlily, Bush Apples, Kakadu Plums and more, discovering the perfect ingredients for crafting your personal gin. * Based on season availability
As the sun sets, immerse yourself in the evening ambiance, taking in the stunning views while savoring a delectable dinner paired with fine wine.
Day 3: Friday
After a delicious breakfast, take time to relax by the pool or unwind in your elegant room. With checkout at 10am and your transfer scheduled for 11am, you still have time to stroll around the lodge, sip on a refreshing mimosa, and simply relax.
Your transfer will then take you back to the city, where you'll be dropped off at Charlie’s of Darwin. Here, you will present your foraged botanicals to the master distiller at Darwin Distilling Co. While they craft your personalized gin blend, enjoy a delightful lunch. Once the distillation is complete, you'll receive a 100ml bottle of your custom gin.
The package concludes here, leaving you with a unique memento of your luxurious experience.
