Rotary International Convention

CALGARY 2025

Come and join us for our Annual Gintastic Social following the closing ceremony of the 2025 Rotary International Convention in Calgary. This event is open to Fellowship members, friends and potential members - if you want a fun relaxing evening with Rotarian friends - old and new - then come and join us.

WHERE:

Veranda at The Stables

(featuring Burwood Distillery)

(also co-located with VAYCAY Brew Co.)

2566 Flanders Ave SW #200,

Calgary, AB T3E 7H9, Canada

WHEN:

25th JUNE 2025

6.30PM ONWARDS

The best bit - it is being held at a restaurant attached to its own Gin Distillery - or is that Gin Distillery with an attached restaurant! You don't have to be a gin drinker, there is a full bar serving lots of drinks including GIN! wine, beers, and soft drinks, and lots more.

COST:

The cost is US $95 / British £65 / Australian $145 per person, for a tour of the distillery and a fantastic meal. The tours will be in small groups - what better than to hear from the distillers and staff themselves. No free tipples in the distillery we're afraid (rules and regulations) but plenty of choice when you come through to the restaurant. It is a pay as you drink service to table.

(includes taxes and 22% obligatory service charge for the meal)

Have an idea for a regional gin-related event?

Do it!

For example, UK Rotarians sell Purple Passion gin in partnership with a local distiller to raise funds for PolioPlus.

Gintastic

online

meetups

Most months we get together online via Zoom for a Gintastic Gin Up. We typically have a guest distiller speak with us about their process and products.

We rotate the times each month so that different time zones can participate.

Sometimes it will be gin o'clock and sometimes you may be making gin pancakes!

Details of each Gintastic Gin Up event are posted in our Facebook Group.
