Unveiling The Dark Cellar: Night Merchant Tastings at Bimbadgen

Unveiling The Dark Cellar: Night Merchant Tastings at Bimbadgen

20 August, 2025

Something new has arrived at Bimbadgen Estate, and it’s set to shake up the Hunter Valley spirits scene. We’re excited to introduce The Night Merchant’s Dark Cellar — a space dedicated to celebrating Bimbadgen’s locally crafted Night Merchant Distillery range.

Tucked in right next to the Bimbadgen Cellar Door, the Dark Cellar offers guests a boutique tasting destination, bringing a fresh twist to our already much-loved hospitality experiences.

Two Experiences to Discover

At the Dark Cellar, you’ll find two unique tasting journeys for $18pp, each designed to showcase the craftsmanship and creativity behind Night Merchant spirits:

GINspired

For the gin lovers (and the gin-curious), this guided tasting is all about discovery. Guests will enjoy a line-up of handcrafted small-batch gins, paired with premium Fever-Tree tonic and complementary garnishes. It’s a sensory journey through botanicals and flavour profiles that highlight what makes each gin so distinct.

V.R.A.

Vodka. Rum. Agave. Three unique spirits, one unforgettable flight. This tasting explores the artistry and diversity of spirit-making, from the crisp clarity of vodka, through the smooth vibrancy of white rum, to the bold complexity of agave. A perfect way to compare styles, techniques, and flavour nuances side by side.

A New Chapter at Bimbadgen

“We’re excited to officially give Night Merchant Distillery a home at The Dark Cellar here at Bimbadgen, and to expand our current offerings,” says Jace Hughes, Cellar Door Manager. “Our team has put a lot of effort into creating great products, designing engaging tasting experiences, and building a space that feels fresh and different from Bimbadgen’s other outlets. This is just the beginning, and we’re looking forward to bringing even more new experiences to life here at Bimbadgen.”

The Dark Cellar marks an exciting step for Bimbadgen — a new way to explore and enjoy spirits, right here in the Hunter Valley. Whether you’re stopping by for a gin flight with friends, or curious to expand your palate with vodka, rum, and agave, the Night Merchant Dark Cellar is ready to welcome you.
