Traveler reviews
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.
Amazing
Amazing knowledge and experience from the staff. Incredible learning all a out the unique history of the distillery and founders of 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?
Excellent
We were fortunate to arrive at the Lark Distillery just as a tour started. Tom, our guide was amazing!!! Very knowledgeable, friendly bloke and we thoroughly enjoyed the tour. The whiskey tasting was delicious 😋 Tom is worth every dollar of this tour! We highly recommend it.

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
