Tucked away in the tranquil hamlet of Karridale, deep in Western Australia’s breathtaking Margaret River region, Wild Lot Distillery is a boutique, family-run haven crafting small-batch spirits with heart and soul. Led by a trailblazing female distiller, this micro-distillery thrives on the rhythm of the seasons, turning farm-fresh, locally sourced ingredients into bold, unforgettable flavors. Sustainability isn’t just a buzzword here—it’s woven into every step, from the soil to the still.
Their star creation, Fortuna Gin, is a juniper-packed masterpiece kissed with zesty Karridale lemons, fragrant herbs like thyme and rosemary, and a whisper of coastal magic from the nearby shores. Each bottle comes with a playful twist: a swing tag embedded with thyme seeds so you can grow your own garnish at home. Surrounded by rolling farmland, a charming hobby orchard, and the whispers of nature, Wild Lot Distillery is more than a stop—it’s an experience. The rustic cellar door and bar, open Friday to Sunday from 11 AM to 5:30 PM (or by special request), welcomes you to linger with tastings of their handcrafted spirits alongside a curated lineup of Australia’s finest artisanal bottles.
Picture this: sipping a gin flight under the shade of towering trees, nibbling on local charcuterie, and soaking in the laid-back vibes of a place that feels like a secret hideaway. Every pour tells a story—of the land, the craft, and the people who pour their passion into it. Wild Lot proudly honors the Wadandi people, the Traditional Owners of this stunning region, weaving respect for heritage into their ethos. Whether you’re a gin aficionado or just love a good tale with your tipple, Wild Lot Distillery is a must-visit gem in Karridale’s crown.
