Husk Farm Distillery
Husk Farm Distillery is a unique and exclusive destination in Australia, being the country’s only single estate paddock to bottle rum distillery. Located on a sprawling 150-acre property on the picturesque banks of the Tweed River in North Tumbulgum, Northern NSW, visitors are treated to breathtaking views across the valley to Wollumbin and the border ranges.
The Tweed Valley itself is nestled within the eroded core of an ancient shield volcano, known as the ‘Green Caldera’. This geological wonder has blessed the region with an abundance of rich red volcanic soil, making it an ideal location for agricultural pursuits. As a result, the area has seen the rise of a thriving agri-tourism industry.
Conveniently situated just 20 minutes away from the Gold Coast Airport and 40 minutes from the popular coastal town of Byron Bay, Husk Distillery is perfectly positioned for day trippers looking for a unique and memorable experience.
Upon arrival, visitors are invited to explore the cellar door, where they can indulge in a refreshing cocktail and savor a delicious lunch. Additionally, the cellar door offers the opportunity to purchase limited release products, allowing guests to take a piece of Husk Farm Distillery home with them.
For those seeking a deeper understanding of the distillery’s operations, a behind-the-scenes distillery tour is available. Lasting approximately 45 minutes, this guided tour provides an immersive experience into the art of crafting Husk Rum and Ink Gin, from the very beginning in the paddock to the final product in the bottle. Guests are welcomed with a special drink upon arrival and are then taken on a journey through the intricate process, culminating in a guided tasting of six different spirits.
To ensure availability, it is recommended to make bookings in advance for the distillery tour. Whether you are a rum enthusiast, a gin connoisseur, or simply someone looking to explore the beauty of the Tweed Valley, Husk Farm Distillery promises an unforgettable experience for all.
