A working spirits distillery in Hindmarsh Valley
Cut Hill Wall Distillery sits at 34 Mont Rosa Road, Hindmarsh Valley, fifteen minutes inland from Victor Harbor and a little under ninety minutes south of Adelaide. The distillery makes small-batch spirits. We run our cheese, pasta, dumpling and gnocchi classes in the venue space alongside the stills.
It is one of those venues where the building is part of the class. The copper of the stills, the warm hum of the equipment, the smell of warming malt and citrus oils. You leave with what you made, a tasting plate of distillery spirits if you want one, and a sense of how things actually get made.
Class space
Classes run in the venue space attached to the distillery. The bench is set up for hands-on cooking. Hot water baths for the cheese class, prep boards for pasta and dumplings.
The spirits side
Most guests stay for a tasting after the class. The distillery’s small-batch range is available to taste in the cellar door space next to the venue. A formal distillery tour can be added to your class booking.

If there are any specific notes about a venue, we include them in the event information.
