Cancellations and Refunds

Stand cancellations will be afforded a credit if received more than 60 days prior to the first day of the event, otherwise all funds paid will be forfeited.

Logistics

We manage all of the logistics regarding your stock into the venue. Plans vary depending on the venue and their facilities. In most cases you are responsible to get your stock to our warehouse in each city at your cost. We then move your stock to the venue, right to your stand, at our cost.

Your stand fee covers basic stand set up (trestle, ice bucket, spit bucket, company lanyard, ice tub) and we provide you with ice and Long Rays premium mixers to conduct your tastings. Power is available within the space however not to all stands. Water jugs are regularly topped up at all stands. You are welcome to personalise your stand however you choose – media screens, pull up banners and display shelving are popular choices. Examples of stand set-ups can be seen in the introductory video on this page. Also on FACEBOOK and INSTAGRAM.

All ticket holders are provided with a tasting glass for sampling and a tote bag for any bottle purchases. We don’t charge any additional costs or fees, and we leave bottle sales entirely in your hands. Licensing fees may apply in some states – so far this has only been applicable in Queensland. Stand holders are expected to offer free tastings to ticket holders. These sample pours are to be no more than 10mL. Share your story, showcase your gin range, and encourage ticket holders to purchase a bottle or two to take home with them! We exercise ZERO TOLERANCE regarding the sale of single mixed drinks or RTDs at our events.Only gin or products made with gin are allowed at all festivals.

There is a minimum of 500 tickets sold per session. At some of our larger venues, up to 1000 tickets can be sold per session. To see session times across all cities, check out the event pages on ginevents.com.au. Generally, there are 5 tasting sessions across 3 days. Terms & Conditions
