DAILY EXPERIENCES AT THE CELLAR DOOR

Welcome to LARK — 1pm Daily
Pull up a seat at the place where it all began and uncover the story of the distillery that sparked a whisky renaissance in Australia. This guided 45 minute tasting brings the origins of LARK to life — from the fishing trip that inspired a movement to the world class single malt whiskies defining Tasmania today.

Led by one of our knowledgeable whisky hosts, you’ll explore three distinctive LARK single malts (including a rare museum release), while learning how craft, character, and innovation shaped the first modern Tasmanian single malt distillery.

Fuse Whisky Blending Experience — 3pm
Daily Fuse is a whisky experience unlike any other — an immersive, hands on blending session where you’ll create a bespoke 500ml bottle of your own LARK single malt whisky. Guided by a LARK whisky specialist, you’ll draw from a curated selection of our finest cask strength Tasmanian single malts, each chosen for its unique character, flavour profile, and story.

Across two hours in our Hobart cellar door, you’ll explore how ingredients, climate, cask type, and maturation shape whisky expression — and how a blend becomes more than the sum of its parts. This is your chance to create something truly personal, completely unrepeatable, and unmistakably Tasmanian.
