German Week Melbourne

24/09/2025

We are happy to support German local community groups. Hope you have a great Oktoberfest. Prost!

✨ Supporter Spotlight ✨
We raise our glasses to one of our amazing supporters – Idea 🥂

Born from a “schnapsidee” (that crazy but brilliant German idea 💡🍸), this family-run distillery is blending the heritage of Germany with the fruits of Australia to create premium schnapps and brandies that are as unique as their story.

From traditional recipes to modern craftsmanship, every bottle is made with passion, pride, and a dash of Aussie flair 🇦🇺❤️🇩🇪.

Check them out, share a drink, and support local legends who make our community stronger.

👉 Prost to Mona & Hussain and the whole Schnapps Idea family!

"How should our Fruit Brandies or Eau de Vie's be enjoyed?"
It’s a question we often hear — and the answer is beautifully simple:
Neat. No fuss. Just pure fruit and finesse.

They suit almost any occasion — though some feel just right.

One of our favorite ways?
In tulip-shaped glasses — designed to capture the full aroma and elevate the experience. A quiet norm in many fine restaurants across Germany, France, Austria, and Switzerland.

🍐✨ The shape makes all the difference.

How do you enjoy yours?
