Set your GPS for Myponga and get ready to be shaken, stirred and totally floored.
The brand-new Fleurieu Gin Distillery and Cellar Door has to-die-for views and a fun, family-friendly vibe, making it the perfect spot to sip, swirl and bask in the magic of SA’s iconic Fleurieu Peninsula.
Going global
What started as a ‘why not?’ moment during COVID, has turned into an award winning gin empire! Shane Magor woke up one morning (after a few too many G&Ts) and thought, “I can make that!”
So, like any successful midlife crisis… he backed himself and went all in! “We started distilling in a tiny home set-up, passing gin over the fence to our neighbours. They kept asking for more and before we knew it, people were flocking to Myponga for a taste of Fleurieu Gin!”
Now, Shane has bottled up the spirit of Myponga in a stunning new distillery that blends modern design with rustic charm. Picture this… a light-filled tasting room with soaring ceilings and panoramic views of Myponga’s rolling hills. “It’s the best view on the Fleurieu, hands down!”
Gin first
Every bottle of Fleurieu Gin captures the flavours of SA, using locally-sourced botanicals to create gins that dance on your palate.
“Our rosemary is from Anzac Cove in Gallipoli and all our fruits come from local growers — so every sip is an ode to South Australia,” says Shane
You’ll get to sample their signature gins, including the crowd-favourite Aussie Gold Australian Dry Gin and the zesty Fleurieu Sunset, which is bursting with strawberries and blackberries from Harvest the Fleurieu at Mt Compass. And don’t even get us started on the cocktails… from a classic G&T to mindblowing mixology masterpieces, the drinks menu is yummo!

Fun for everyone
Fleurieu Gin isn’t just for gin lovers, it’s a destination in its own right!
Not into gin? No worries! They’ve got local wines, craft beers and mocktails, plus charcuterie boards packed with SA goodies and gourmet pizzas to keep you satisfied. And the littlies will love it, too!
“We’ve got your kids sorted with bocce, minigolf and quoits, and even a golf driving range, plus loads of grass for them to run wild,” says Shane.
Fleurieu Gin is a real family affair, with Shane’s son returning from his time in Sydney with the Sydney Swans in the AFL, to join his dad as manager of the new distillery and he’s extra excited to throw some amazing events there in 2025!
Whether you’re celebrating a special event for up to 200 people (because why not?) they’ve got you covered!
The Fleurieu Peninsula has always been a top-notch holiday destination, but this gorgeous new distillery has just made Myponga the ultimate gin lover’s paradise. So raise your glass, toast to local family-owned businesses and say cheers to Fleurieu Gin.
Well played, Shaneo!
WHEN ART MEETS SPIRIT
When Shane asked me to create three custom paintings for their new distillery, I nearly fell off my chair with excitement! Their brand colours — coastal blues, rich earthy greens and hot pink sunset vibes — are right up my alley. So, I went all out on three GIANT canvases. Now, to see my artwork surrounded by people laughing, sipping and loving the space is the ultimate compliment!
