I don’t usually promote events here but this one is too good not to share, especially on the eve of Ardbeg Day celebrations. It combines two of my favourite things in the world: fine whisky and grand heritage buildings.

The National Trust of Australia (Victoria) is partnering with Whisky and Alement (a Melbourne whisky destination like no other – you might remember them from here) to create a weekend of whisky worship you’re unlikely to see again. Think: rare drams, whisky celebrities, intriguing historical spaces.

There are four events:

Rare and Limited Edition Whisky Tasting – Thursday 19 June at Tasma Terrace

Whisky Pop Up Bar – Friday 20 June at Old Melbourne Gaol (eeeek!)

Exclusive Australian Whisky Dinner – Saturday 21 June at The Ballroom Rippon Lea (rubbing shoulders with whisky royalty)

Whisky on the Lawn – Sunday 22 June at Rippon Lea (kids welcome to this one)

If you love a dram or two, these events are definitely worth checking out. If any of those brand logos below set your heart aflutter, consider this a must-do.

Discover more and book online over at the National Trust website.
