Your Chauffeur to Lark Distillery
Established in 1992, Lark Distillery represents the rebirth of Tasmanian whisky after a 150-year hiatus, earning its place as Australia's oldest and most innovative single malt whisky distillery. Founded by the legendary Bill Lark, whose vision recognised Tasmania's pristine water, highland peat, and temperate climate as ideal for world-class whisky production, Lark Distillery pioneered an industry that has since earned global acclaim.
Located 30 minutes north of Hobart in Pontville, the distillery now resides in meticulously restored historical buildings dating back to the early 1800s, creating Tasmania's only working whisky village. This iconic setting combines heritage architecture with state-of-the-art distilling facilities, where passion and science merge to create award-winning single malt whiskies and spirits.
“Fantastic day using EVRide, in an exceptional vehicle. Aurelien is charming and knowledgeable. We cannot recommend EVRide highly enough.”
