About Us

  • Lana & Justin Bell, Owners & Distiller

    The Husband and wife team behind the brand, Justin has always waxed lyrical about owning a bar and after discovering a talent for distilling, Familiar Spirits was born and quickly gained a loyal following.

  • Danson Danium, Bar Manager & Sales

    Danson came to us with the intention of filling just the role of bar manager in anticipation of our cellar door opening. He very quickly took on the role of wholesale sales accounts and learned to distill our full range of products. Danson brings a wealth of cocktail knowledge to the bar, and his ability to craft cocktails tailored to each guest’s individual tastes and preferences is unmatched, ensuring a personalised and memorable experience for every visitor.

  • Bree Dittrich, Chef

    Bree, Lana’s sister, has crafted a sumptuous small plate and dessert menu for the cellar door. With training in the Hunter Valley restaurant industry and 15 years of experience running her own cake decorating business, she is renowned locally for her exceptional baking and desserts.
