Bass & Flinders Distillery - Gin School, Dromana
Make a bottle with your own blend at Bass & Flinders’ Gin Masterclass. The operator describes a two-hour session exploring gin production and traditional and native botanicals, followed by hands-on blending. A 500ml bottle of your recipe goes home with you. It is a practical way to spend an afternoon getting to know the flavours behind the spirit.
The distillery is at 40 Collins Road, Dromana. Check the operator’s masterclass page and book your chosen session; availability needs confirmation. The distillery contact page has the current visitor details.
Cape Schanck Boardwalk - Ocean Coast
Cape Schanck’s lookouts frame Pulpit Rock and the volcanic coastline. Follow the walking track from the car park towards the Cape; the descending boardwalk includes a wooden staircase. This is not a step-free route to the beach and rock platform.
For wheelchair access, Parks Victoria identifies a path from the adjacent car park into the lighthouse reserve, plus accessible toilets and picnic areas. Choose the route that suits your access needs and check Parks Victoria’s current conditions and accessibility advice before travelling. Stay on the tracks and follow signs. Large unexpected waves can wash across the rock platform; swimming is not recommended. There is no drinking water at the day visitor area, so bring your own.
Rye Foreshore Market - Rye
The Rotary Club of Rosebud-Rye runs this community market with a focus on homemade and home-grown goods. Stall income supports community service projects. Make time for a browse when a market date fits your visit, rather than assuming it will be open any weekend.
The organiser lists the first Saturday of each month, opening at 8:30am, at the carnival site on Point Nepean Road opposite the Rye Hotel. Holiday arrangements can move the market to another foreshore site. Check the Rotary organiser’s current location and schedule before setting out.
