Dune Distilling Co. is nestled amongst the towering forests and pristine coastline of the tranquil Margaret River region in the southwest pocket of Western Australia. Housed in a magnificent architectural building beside a beautiful dam and winding vineyards, you will find Dune just a 23 minutes’ drive north from Margaret River.
The name ‘Dune’ is inspired by the stunning local coastal region. Born out of a passion project, Dune Distilling Co.’s journey started in 2015. Beginning with craft beer, the team then started experimenting with collaborations on wines and spirits utilising beautiful native and farmed botanicals. Gin was introduced to their range in 2016 and now, five years on, the distillery and brewery have grown to offer a range of medal-winning craft beverages, as well as a 250-seat restaurant operating seven days a week.
It hasn’t been smooth sailing, however. On the 23rd March 2020 the industry came to an abrupt halt and Dune had to batten down the hatches (the nation’s hospitality venues were closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak). The team behind Dune Distilling Co. had to think quickly to adapt their business to the ever-changing situation. They upgraded their gin distillery overnight into a hand sanitiser production line to produce their Dune Distilling Co. Hand Sanitiser; a popular product at the time!
