Local business spotlight: Blend Etiquette If you've ever wondered about the story behind Marion's hidden gem, Blend Etiquette, wonder no more. Founded by Geordan and Lindon Lark, this boutique distillery has been making waves and products since 2016. Originally focusing on tonic syrup, they quickly shifted to crafting exceptional gin. Nestled in Sturt, Blend Etiquette's cellar door is a testament to hard work and organic growth. Initially setting up shop in the corner of a family member's warehouse, they've transformed the space into a thriving hub for gin enthusiasts. Adding a touch of artistry, local talent Jasmine Crisp painted a stunning mural, now the centrepiece of Blend Etiquette’s Garden. The mural, a symbol of creative freedom and uniqueness, has become integral to the brand's identity. Visit Blend Etiquette at 1510 Main South Road, Sturt.
