More Than Just A Whisky Tour
This tour isn't just about making Whisky. Its about the history of the location, the journey of Bill and Lyn Lark and how they changed the course of Australia Whisky forever. Very generous tastings and the bar at the end is hard to walk away from! Recommended for anyone who wants to learn about Whisky.

Amazing Experience
We went on a tour run by Gui on New Years Eve. It was fun, interactive and informative. He certainly knows his craft, and clearly has a passion for Lark and all it represents. The tour includes a couple of drinks while being escorted around the grounds of an 1840 something estate. Well worth the visit, 5 stars for Gui and Lark.

Loved the tour and tasting
I’ve drink quite a lot of Lark over the years, so was definitely not going to miss coming for the tour when visiting Hobart. Staff were great, allowed our teens to chill in the cellar door while my wife and I did the tasting and tour. Cellar door wasn’t packed, might have been different otherwise. Excellent hour tasting/tour, Hannah took us around and was happy to answer any and all questions. Got to sample Classic Lark, Classic Lark direct from a cask in the ‘Cooperage’ and the Xmas special to finish off. 10% cellar door purchases post tour, sampled and purchased a bottle of Dark Lark which I would recommend. Great experience, really enjoyed it. Could the cellar door be enhanced by some local cheese/cheese board or chocolate/fruit platters available for purchase as well?

ADD TO YOUR BUCKET LIST … love this experience well worth going to and a must for whiskey lovers
An absolute amazing day with our guide Tom to share his love and knowledge of Lark’s gorgeous whiskey it has to offer. Tom took us on a journey throughout the property and showed us the ins and outs of what it is to make whiskey at Lark. If you coming to Tasmania please this is must to add onto your bucket list. Thanks Tom Regards Matt and Stacey

Great Tour of Lark Distillery and its History
I visited whilst on holiday in Tasmania and was not disappointed. The Staff and Guides were very informative about telling the story of Lark Distilling not just from the start of its Distilling History, but the History of the Culture and people who inherited and inhibited the land. A great tour highlighting the Grain to Glass perspective of what it takes to make a good Tasmanian Single Malt Whisky, through tastings as you are guided through the Process and Production. Highly recommend the Dark Lark for its Smooth Flavor.
