Breweries & Distilleries
Craft beer and small-batch spirits
The best breweries & distilleries in Renmark
From a woolshed-turned-brewery on the river to one of Australia’s oldest distilleries, the Riverland’s drinks scene reaches well beyond the vine.
A district long defined by bulk wine is growing a confident craft scene, and the Riverland's breweries and distilleries are some of its most enjoyable new stops. Small-batch makers are turning the region's citrus, almonds and grain into characterful beers and spirits, usually poured in relaxed, conversational tasting rooms beside the Murray.
Sip whisky and gin at the 23rd Street Distillery in Renmark, housed in a historic former distillery, or settle in for a riverside ale at Wilkadene Woolshed Brewing Co, brewed right on the riverbank upstream. Newer ventures like Hogwash Bend Distillery near Cadell lean hard into their Riverland sense of place.
What ties them together is provenance — produce grown within sight of the still or kettle, and makers happy to talk you through every drop. Combine a brewery or distillery visit with the region's cellar doors for a full picture of how the Riverland likes to drink.
