From craft spirits to culinary delights, here are two family-run distilleries to experience in the Byron Shire…

Book a 45-minute distillery tour followed by a craft spirit tasting at Husk Farm Distillery Australia’s first paddock-to-bottle sustainable distillery. Located on a picturesque 60-hectare farm in Tumbulgum, Husk produces an ink-colored gin infused with 12 botanicals, including native lemon myrtle and Tasmanian pepper berry. Enjoy seasonal dishes at the Planters Kitchen café and participate in events like ‘Husk at Dusk,’ featuring casual BBQs with cocktails and live music. Open seven days a week.

Another family-run option is Cape Byron Distillery situated on a regenerative farm in the Byron Bay hinterland. Book the ‘Brookie’s Rainforest & Gin Tasting Tour’ to learn about gin distilling while exploring native botanicals. They also offer a Cape Byron Whisky Tour, where you can discover the whisky-making process while enjoying a refreshing whisky highball. Both distilleries provide unique experiences for spirit enthusiasts.
