Meet The Drinks Man

Welcome to The Drinks Man, your go-to expert for beverage services across the stunning South Coast, from Kiama to Ulladulla and beyond. At the helm of The Drinks Man is Jeff Dudgeon, a South Coast native with a deep passion for helping make your special events unforgettable.

About Jeff, The Man Behind The Drinks

Jeff’s journey began on the picturesque South Coast, where he was born and raised. He now shares his life with his wife Jacqui, their two beautiful children and two furball babies. Jeff’s experiences living and traveling throughout Europe have deeply influenced his approach to the business, blending a love for diverse beverages with a commitment to excellent service.

Jeff’s career took a significant turn in 2015 when he took over Bomaderry Super Cellars at the age of 29. His own wedding at Terrara Riverside Gardens, where he faced the challenges of planning a BYO event, inspired him to start The Drinks Man. Jeff understands firsthand the importance of flexible and stress-free alcohol arrangements, which is why he offers discounted packages tailored to your needs. His personal experience of over-catering at his own wedding led to the creation of the “Buy Back Offer,” allowing you to order with confidence, knowing any excess can be returned.

Jeff supplied the drinks for our wedding in April. He was super helpful and flexible with our requests due to some last minute changes. Communication was great and delivery was seamless. Thanks so much Jeff! Really appreciate your help making our wedding day a success!

Etienne Pluess

Jeff supplied the alcohol for my wedding and was super helpful and easy to communicate with. He allowed me to go back and forth about quantities and types of alcohol as I needed. Jeff moved the alcohol to my venue and stocked the cool room without any assistance which was super helpful. He also has a buy back scheme which saved us a bit of money. Couldn’t recommend more!

Hayley Venturini

Jeff was so helpful throughout the whole process from helping figure out quantities, to wine selections and even special ordering the sparkling wine we really wanted direct from the vineyard. Thanks Jeff for a stress free experience! Oh & the buy back of the wine & beer cases is fantastic!

Lauren O’Grady

My husband and I got our drinks through them for our wedding and could not have been more pleased and impressed. Jeff, the owner, was beyond helpful! He answered all our questions and helped us put together the best package for our needs and budget. He was also really flexible with sourcing some beers that we wanted. The prices were great and the service was excellent- with Jeff delivering to our wedding venue the day before so we could stock everything and get ready for the big day.

Rachelle Brown

Jeff was an absolute pleasure to work with and made the whole wedding process seamless. The service and package was extremely great value and Jeff buys back the alcohol you don’t use so you don’t have to waste it or cart it back with you. Highly recommend for weddings in the southern highlands. Everyone had a blast and no one was left without a drink. Thanks Jeff.

Joel Woollams

Excellent service. We got our wedding alcohol and coolroom through this business and could not fault it. Jeff was fantastic with communication and assisting with alcohol estimates. The coolroom was delivered and filled with no hassles, then picked up and excess alcohol refunded promptly. Well priced and very easy. Would highly recommend.

Jeff and his team were outstanding, both in coolroom hire and alcohol supply for our party. They could not have been more helpful and accommodating re the coolroom supply, drop off and pick up. And the pricing of our alcohol package was highly competitive against the best prices we could find

JW Wilkins

Jeff is an absolute legend to deal with. He made the process of purchasing alcohol for our wedding so easy and stress free. I really appreciated the range that Jeff was able to provide on my budget and the buy back option is very fair and reasonable. We really appreciated delivery direct to our venue, it was one less thing we had to worry about on the day. Thank you Jeff and the team at Bomaderry Super Cellars.
