Join us on International Women's Day at Bloodwood Newtown to celebrate women's achievements in the emerging Australian craft distilling industry. Bloodwood is a community focused restaurant and bar that strives to provide bold and heart felt food and drinks. Focusing on using smaller producers and sourcing local food wherever possible, they offer an ever changing menu designed around share plates and a standout drinks list to match. This almost ten years young restaurant is truly a cult classic.
Diversity is important to all industries. We hope that this event will inspire people to support the small number of women involved in the Australian distilling movement.
Anybody and everybody is welcome to come along and meet some amazing female pioneers helping to shape the Australian Craft Distilling industry. You will receive a cocktail on arrival and then you will enjoy an 'Australian Spirits Flight' during lunch. Bloodwood's Claire Van Vuuren will create a menu that is bold, packed with flavour and inspired by the spirits that we will be tasting on the day. Tickets include: Food, Cocktail on arrival, spirits flight, wine, beer.
