For long lunches & considered dining
Planter’s Kitchen is our on-farm restaurant, nestled next to the kitchen gardens of Husk Farm Distillery and overlooking our beautiful fields.
The menu celebrates seasonal, locally sourced and home-grown produce, designed for relaxed long lunches shaped by the land around us - cocktail in hand, of course.
For groups of 8 or more, our Farm Feast Set Menu ($69pp) is required. View current Set Menus.
BOOKINGS RECOMMENDED
For casual food & drinks
The Lawn is our relaxed outdoor space for casual drinks set on the grass in front of the distillery.
It’s designed for easy afternoons – kids running free, lawn games to play, and friends gathering under umbrellas.
For groups of 9 or more joining us between 12pm and 2:30pm on weekends our Farmyard Lunch Set Menu is required ($45pp).
BOOKINGS RECOMMENDED
For bar snacks, drinks, tastings & gifts
The Cellar Door is the heart of Husk – a place to taste, learn and explore at your own pace.
Walk in anytime to enjoy a tasting flight, a cocktail on the Tasting Terrace, or a browse through our gift shop. It’s the easiest way to experience our spirits and take a little piece of Husk home with you.
WALK-INS ONLY, subject to availability on the day.

With a drink in hand and your high-vis vest on, go behind the scenes of Australia’s first farm to bottle distillery, sampling all our spirits along the way. The perfect way to build up an appetite before lunch!
Our Tasting Trail Tour is perfect for those who want a little bit of Ink Gin and a little bit of Husk Rum. Gin & tonic in hand, you’ll wander through the distillery over 45minutes, sampling 7+ spirit along the way. $49pp
Our Ink Gin Tour is a fun, behind-the-scenes experience where you’ll discover the story, botanicals and natural colour of Ink Gin. Taste it neat, with tonic and soda, then explore our distillery and bottling process. Finish with a fun crossword challenge and cocktail-making experience. $69pp
Our Farm to Bottle Tour is totally unique. You’ll start off by making the white rum cocktail which first inspired us to make Husk Rum - the Ti Punch. Then head to the farm to cut and crush fresh sugar cane juice (adding another shot of rum for those who feel like it!) before following the production journey from farm to glass… to farm again. Enjoy a rum flight in the Barrel House, then finish your experience by feeding the sugarcane tops to our friendly Husk herd of cattle. $95pp
End your Farm to Bottle Tour by feeding our ‘recycling team’ of 40 cattle.
Finish the Tasting Trail Tour with rum tasting among the barrels.
