Lazy Lab Farms

Our family-owned whisky, gin and liqueur distillery is built on the banks of the River Derwent (timtumili minanya), in the small rural town of Dromedary. Dromedary is half an hour from Hobart and only a short drive from the heritage town of New Norfolk. It is nestled between Mount Dromedary and the Dromedary Forest Reserve. We often forage botanicals from our distillery site to create our single malt whisky, gins and liqueurs, with a strong focus on sustainably sourced, local and organic ingredients. We produce in small batches to ensure quality and enjoy using unique, seasonal Tasmanian native ingredients in our recipes.

Derwent Estate is a family owned and operated wine business at Granton in Tasmania's south. Just 20 minutes north of Hobart, the largest city in Tasmania, the vineyard is nestled perfectly on north facing slopes which run down to the Derwent River, a perfect aspect for the production of cool climate wine grapes. The 1820 Convict built historic cottage houses a truly unique tasting experience of 12 different varietals. Open 7 days a week. The Shed Restaurant offers lunches made from the finest local Tasmanian produce and operates Wednesday to Sunday. Located at 42 degrees south latitude this is genuine cool climate viticulture. Tasmania is rapidly gaining a reputation as Australia’s premier Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sparkling wine producing area.

We are proud sixth generation vignerons, and we established our blocks of vines on our special site in Granton in 1990. We were Tasmania’s first certified biodynamic vineyard, and have been cultivating our vines using biodynamic methods since 2009. Visit our Cellar Door and taste through our range of biodynamic wines. While we have a strong focus on Sparkling wines as well as Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, we love experimenting and exploring. Don't be surprised when you visit our Cellar Door to find a Malvasia or perhaps a nip of Grappa tucked away behind the tasting bench.
