A one-day whisky pilgrimage from Hobart’s sandstone streets to Tasmania’s most celebrated distilleries.
Begin in Hobart’s compact capital—its preserved sandstone facades and nineteenth‑century streets set the scene for a day that moves quickly from coastal townscape to distillery benches. Across eight hours you’ll tour Spring Bay’s boutique operation, wander the Georgian village of Richmond for a light lunch, then sample award-winning single malts at Sullivans Cove and the family‑run Lark Distillery.
