83 Islands Tasting Bar

The 83 Islands Distillery’s new tasting bar in Stella Mare, Port Vila, is now open and ready to welcome visitors.

The bar, located next to the distillery itself, was built over the past two years by a team of local wood artisans, supervised by renowned Port Vila woodworker David Girardeau. The design of the building seamlessly blends in with the brand’s image, rooted in Vanuatu’s geography.

The bar’s blueprint was skilfully crafted by Made For, a firm based in Melbourne with extensive experience in projects in Port Vila. They perfectly captured the contrasting landscape of Vanuatu by creating a beautiful design that showcases basic materials like copper and exotic wood, combined with advanced poly carbonates. The result is an intricate work of art that truly highlights the unique beauty of Vanuatu.

The use of local wood, with the exception of imported Canadian cedar shingles (a nod to the origin of the founders of the distillery), creates a unique atmosphere that immerses visitors in the culture and heritage of the region. The bar is not only a place to taste the distillery’s products but also serves as a training facility for local barkeepers. This not only provides valuable skills for the local community but also ensures the bar is staffed by knowledgeable and skilled bartenders who can provide an outstanding experience for customers.

The local wood and the copper used in the construction of the bar gives it a sense of authenticity and connection to the region. The intricate details and design of the bar showcase the skill and craftsmanship of the local artisans who built it.
