For restaurants, hotels & events
Tuak, on your list.
26 small-batch expressions from Kuching, built for kitchens and bars that want something from this place on the menu. Pours, pairings, staff tastings and gifting — delivered nationwide.
What we offer
How we work with venues
-
Pairing menus
We work through your menu course by course and propose pours that hold up against it — the same way we built the pairing with Akar in Kuala Lumpur.
-
Guided staff tastings
A session for your floor and bar team: how tuak is made, how the four collections differ, serving temperatures, and how to describe it to a guest who has never had it.
-
Seasonal and limited pours
Small-batch expressions rotate with each vintage. We flag what is coming so you can plan a list around it rather than reprint when a bottle runs out.
-
Collaborative dining events
Guest pours, tasting dinners and Gawai or festive menus, run with your kitchen. We bring the maker, the bottles and the story.
-
Cultural storytelling
Menu copy, provenance notes and background on ragi, gula apong and the Dayak brewing tradition — written so your team can use it, and accurate enough to stand behind.
-
Corporate and hospitality gifting
Personalised bottles for guests, delegates and partners, in 50ml, 280ml and 750ml. Labels carry names, dates or your own mark.
The range
Four collections
Every bottle is brewed in small batches and dated like a vintage, so a list built around tuak changes through the year. Availability rotates — tell us what you want to pour and we will tell you what is in the cellar.
- Essence Collection
- The heritage core — approachable, single-fruit and rice expressions that introduce the soul of Bornean tuak.
- The Fusion Collection
- Our experimental heart, where Dayak tradition meets Foochow technique and the larder of Sarawak — from black pepper to ginger to gula apong.
- Special Borneo Reserve
- Our luxury tier — limited expressions finished with 24K edible gold and rare botanicals, made to be gifted and remembered.
- Community Cellar
- Collaborations brewed with named local growers, crediting the orchards and farms of Sarawak that make each bottle possible.

Trade questions
Before you get in touch
How do restaurants and hotels order from Tuak Atelier?
Message us on WhatsApp and ask for the trade list. Tell us your venue, roughly what volume you expect and whether you want pours by the glass, by the bottle, or both — we will come back with pricing and minimums for your case rather than a one-size-fits-all sheet.
Do you run tastings for our team?
Yes. We run guided staff tastings covering how tuak is made, the differences across our four collections, serving temperatures and how to describe each expression to a guest. These can run at your venue or at our Kuching showroom.
Can you build a pairing menu with our kitchen?
Yes — this is the work we most enjoy. We have paired course by course with the Michelin-starred kitchen at Akar in Kuala Lumpur, featured by Tatler Dining. Send us your menu and we will propose pours against it.
Do you deliver outside Sarawak?
Yes, we ship nationwide across Malaysia. Delivery is charged separately and depends on quantity and destination — message us for a quote for your address.
What bottle sizes work for on-premise service?
750ml is the standard for by-the-glass and bottle service. 280ml suits tasting flights, minibars and room amenities, and 50ml is used for gifting and event favours.
Is tuak halal?
No. Tuak is an alcoholic drink at 11–17% ABV and is not halal. It is sold as a Sarawak native liquor to non-Muslim customers of legal drinking age, and should be listed accordingly.
Pricing, minimum orders and lead times depend on your venue and volume, so we quote them directly rather than publish a single sheet. Ask for the trade list and we will send terms for your case.
