Event Supplier
Seadrift Distillery
Seadrift is an award-winning Australian distilled non-alcoholic spirit made locally in the Northern Beaches. Seadrift was founded by Alastair and Carolyn Whiteley, who sought a more natural and peaceful life after 20 years living and working overseas. It wasn’t long before they found themselves asking the same old question “Why are we all in such a rush? They decided that something had to change. And so Seadrift was born.
A drink to slow down, to unwind and enjoy without the guilt. A drink with which to appreciate the little moments and watch the sea drift by. Seadrift is made using a traditional copper pot distillation process that has been used for centuries to create top-end spirits. They distil from fresh botanicals, that arrive into the distillery each morning where the magic begins - a perfect match as Event Supplier for this year’s Environmental Art & Design Prize.
