Our story:
2011:
A vision became a reality when plans to set up a 'best practice 'cotton gin was established to provide the best cotton ginning services to growers in the Southern Valleys. Ten years later, hundreds of thousands of bales and happy growers have been part of the business that has gone on to be a leader in the industry. Today, Southern Cotton is proud partner of the Whitton Malt House and sits alongside the venue on the Whitton - Darlington Point Road.
2019:
In 2019, Southern Cotton and Voyager Craft Malt formed a partnership with a shared vision for the malt industry - to build a sustainable world-class, craft malting facility to supply artisan malt to elite whisky distillers, craft brewers and bakers.
Voyager Craft Malt produces small batch artisanal malts from locally grown and regionally sourced grains in NSW's Riverina. We specialise in growing and malting hand-crafted malts from a diverse range of premium quality grains.
In just 12-months, after taking a hands-on approach, the team have transformed a 'greenfield' site into an operational state-of-the-art craft malting facility.
2021:
Like everyone around the world, in 2021 we had many challenges and lockdowns but continued to operate as a tourism destination when we could. Our grounds continued to grow with trees establishing and more villas being added around lake. What an amazing 15 months we have had since it all began...
2022:
The Whitton Malt House is welcoming visitors from all our Australia and going from strength to strength as a leader in the tourism industry for regional NSW. We invite you to go on a culinary adventure with us, taste craft beers, Gin or Whisky, book a 'staycation' or host an event. In 2022 we are celebrating local produce and the people who create it - and hope to welcome you soon as we embark on the next chapter of our journey.
Today:

A purpose built restaurant, event and accommodation facility, this is a culinary destination proudly showcasing the Riverina. Our ability to employ locals, support our community and provide a platform to showcase seasonal produce is one of our greatest achievements yet.
