Lizard Lager Custom Craft Beer

Hemingway’s Brewery is a local, independent craft brewery operating in Far North Queensland that produces outstanding craft beers.

Introducing: Lizard Lager

Created in partnership with Hemingway’s Brewery, Lizard Lager features a distinctive lizard motif on its 375ml branded can and is already chilling in guests’ in-suite bars. It’s also available on tap at the resort’s breezy Driftwood Bar. Lizard Lager uses 100 per cent pale Australian malt for an uncomplicated sweet, hay-like character along with traditional German hops for subtle spice, fine bitterness and refreshing citrus flavours.

The idea for Lizard Lager came about from two beer lovers enjoying a couple of quiet ones at sunset and talking about creating the perfect brew that reflects the island. This is a fabulous example of two local companies working together and supporting each other – as well as creating something truly unique and memorable for everyone to enjoy.

Take part in your own Gin Tasting Masterclass with Wolf Lane Tropical Gin.

Lizard Island Gin Tasting Masterclass

Wolf Lane Tropical Gin features botanicals sourced from the region’s Atherton Tablelands along with tropical fruit flavours like grapefruit, lime and mango, and is best served over ice with soda and a garnish of grapefruit. Wolf Lane gin flight tastings are a popular sunset pastime at the Driftwood Bar and feature three of the distillery’s spirits, Tropical Gin, Navy Strength Gin and Davidson Plum Gin.

Sam Kennis who co-owns Wolf Lane Distillery in Cairns said the small batch distilled Tropical Gin was crafted in partnership with the food and beverage team at Lizard Island with the idea of creating a tropical style gin that was refreshing and unique to Tropical North Queensland.

Guests also have the opportunity to take home their very own bottle of signature Lizard Island gin.

Preston Fresh Seafood & Yarra Valley Caviar

Preston Fresh Seafood is a family owned and operated business who have been supplying Lizard Island Resort with the quality seafood used in the daily-changing menus for the past 25 years.

Yarra Valley Caviar is a premium product often seen on the 7-course degustation menu – a special experience guests can enjoy overlooking Anchor Bay in one of two private pavilions on the beach.

Working with suppliers who take great pride in their produce is paramount to the guest experience. We are so proud of our partnerships with Preston Fresh and Yarra Valley Caviar and look forward to continuing to create incredible dishes with the fine produce they supply.

Lizard Island's Farmer Meets the Winemaker Series

The culinary scene on Lizard Island is set to offer a more personal connection between our guests and its Australian suppliers of premium food and drinks.

At the start of each season The Farmer Meets the Winemaker series will welcome a guest producer and a winemaker for a weekend meeting the guests and the kitchen team, before planning and then feasting on a specially designed menu featuring the supplier’s produce and matched with premium wines from the guest winemaker. Special Farmer Winemaker menus will be available for guests right throughout the season.

Edge Hill Butchery & Luke Lambert Wines

Our first Farmer Winemaker event featured Edge Hill Butchery and Luke Lambert Wines, inspired by the mutually beneficial working relationships Lizard Island has with both suppliers. The weekend saw special experiences and tastings from both Edge Hill Butchery and Luke Lambert Wines alongside delectable dishes prepared by Lizard Island’s culinary team.

Each of the Farmer meets the Winemaker events are set to be a fantastic time with great meals and wonderful company.


Exceptional, very varied, and extremely tasty, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner. Commendations to the chef for the way he manages to mix and match textures and flavours. Some of the dishes wouldn't look out of place on a Michelin Starred menu! - Steve and Alice

Each meal was timely and impeccable. The Chef was extraordinarily talented and creative- delivering innovative and delicious cuisine at each dining experience. For Christmas Day and our Anniversary dinner, Corinna curated some special details that touched our hearts and made us feel like we were in a moment of our lives that we wanted to keep forever - Lisey

Relaxed and casually elegant. The Diving and snorkelling was magical. Special call out to Dive instructors Sandra and Liam and Captains Brutus and Harry and Chris. Memorable dining, gorgeous accommodation. The degustation experience on our final night was exceptional. We loved this place and the staff and will be back. Thank you all for rescuing us from the year that was 2020! - Pete & Kim

Our visit was part of a special Penfolds 75 anniversary! We weren't sure what to expect but certainly were not disappointed. All meals were designed to match white and red wines and included a masterclass conducted by Penfolds winemaker Andrew Hales. In between all the wining and dining we had time to take a tinnie out for a picnic and snorkelling. - Truus

Food and wine were very impressive - far and away the best dining we've ever done at an all inclusive resort, and the food heavily features local in-season ingredients. Menus change daily and are creative and varied - we looked forward to every meal. - Nathan
