Wildbrumby Distillery celebrates big wins at the 2025 Far South Coast Business Awards
BAY PAVILIONS, BATEMANS BAY – Friday, 5th September 2025 – We’re still buzzing after an incredible night at the 2025 Far South Coast Business Awards, where Wildbrumby Distillery took home four major honours — including the coveted title of:
Business of the Year!

Leading the charge was our brilliant head distiller, Sebastian Druege, who was recognised as Outstanding Employee for his dedication, creativity, and craftsmanship in shaping our award-winning spirit range. Go Sebastian!
We’re thrilled to share that Wildbrumby was also recognised for:
🏆 Excellence in Sustainability
👥 Employer of Choice (20 Employees and Under)
These awards celebrate the heart and hard work that go into everything we do — from handcrafting schnapps from orchard-grown fruit, and crafting gin using local botanicals and alpine spring water, to cultivating a workplace culture that puts people and planet first.
“We’re incredibly proud to be part of a passionate community of Snowy Mountains businesses,” said co-owner Brad Spalding. “Friday’s Gala Ceremony was a celebration of creativity, sustainability and regional innovation — and it was an honour just to be among so many great local operators.”
We’d like to send a huge thank you to our amazing Wildbrumby team, our wonderful Snowy Mountains community, and to you — our fellow schnapps lovers — for your continued support.
Here’s to more milestones, more schnapps, and more reasons to celebrate! 🥳
