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!

Business of the Year Award 2025

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! 🥳
