Take part in your own Wolf Lane Tropical Gin Tasting Masterclass with our signature Lizard Island gin available for purchase.
Wolf Lane Tropical Gin features botanicals sourced from the region’s Atherton Tablelands along with tropical fruit flavours like grapefruit, lime and mango, and is best served over ice with soda and a garnish of grapefruit. Wolf Lane gin flight tastings are a popular sunset pastime at the Driftwood Bar and feature three of the distillery’s spirits, Tropical Gin, Navy Strength Gin and Davidson Plum Gin.
Sam Kennis who co-owns Wolf Lane Distillery in Cairns said the small batch distilled Tropical Gin was crafted in partnership with the food and beverage team at Lizard Island with the idea of creating a tropical style gin that was refreshing and unique to Tropical North Queensland.
Guests also have the opportunity to purchase our signature Lizard Island gin.
