Welcoming Gardners Bay Distillery to the family!

Edwina Cummings, Rob and Anthea Patterson with Gracie the Still!

There’s nothing quite like the pride and sense of fulfilment that comes from watching your family take on new challenges and create something truly special. That’s exactly how we feel at Hartzview Vineyard, as our daughter Edwina embarks on her exciting new venture – Gardners Bay Distillery. Nestled right here on the family property, the distillery is already making waves with the launch of Edwina’s first gin, The Eximious.

With a name that means “distinguished” or “excellent,” The Eximious Gin certainly lives up to its title. Handcrafted with the same attention to quality and care that runs through everything we do at Hartzview, this gin is a celebration of Tasmania’s pure botanicals and the spirit of innovation that defines our family. From the first sip, you’ll experience a harmonious blend of vibrant flavours, expertly balanced to create a gin that’s truly one of a kind.

We couldn’t be prouder of Edwina as she pours her heart and soul into this new project. Watching her build something from the ground up, right here at Hartzview, has been a reminder of the power of passion and dedication. The same sense of connection to the land and respect for tradition that we’ve built into Hartzview Vineyard now extends to Gardners Bay Distillery. It’s more than just a new business – it’s a continuation of the family legacy, with a bold new twist.

So, whether you’re a fan of fine wine or a lover of craft spirits, there’s now even more reason to visit Hartzview. We invite you to raise a glass to Edwina’s success and discover the exquisite flavours of The Eximious Gin. It’s the perfect companion for your next cocktail or a crisp, refreshing drink on a warm Tasmanian evening.

Join us in celebrating this exciting new chapter at Hartzview Vineyard, and keep an eye out for more exciting releases from Gardners Bay Distillery – we have a feeling this is only the beginning!
