"Drink Tasmania Whiskey Tours In 1992, Bill Lark opened the first new Australian distillery in 150 years, pioneering a now thriving Tasmanian industry that boasts more than 10 producers of single-malt whiskey islandwide. Most are concentrated in the south, and Drink Tasmania's whiskey tours visit the best of them. At the original Lark Distillery in the Coal Valley, whiskey connoisseurs can learn the whole process, from brewing to peat smoking to distillation. Old Kempton Distillery produces apple liqueur, spiced schnapps, and lavender malt in addition to its single-malt, which features barley grown here at the historic Dysart House in Kempton. Belgrove Distillery takes that a few steps further, growing its own rye, spelt, wheat, and barley and using a smoker that head distiller Peter Bignell designed himself."
Such a pretty property... but the young, shaggy headed guy running the wine tastings was a complete joke. I should have just bought a glass of wine and bypassed the tasting - might have had a better experience.
Tiny pours - tasting pours are supposed to be small but these were about a quarter the size of a standard tasting pour. No explanations on what he was pouring. He couldnt really answer any questions we had.
We were the only ones in there and he kept leaving the tasting area to mess with a delivery that was brought in. Most the time I was there, I was standing there with a empty glass waiting for him to pour the wine. My husband (who got a glass instead of a tasting) says he was proud of me for not completely losing it on him while I was in there cause he would have. I showed some patience today.
They need to get someone behind the bar that knows what their doing. If you go there... don't do a tasting!!! Just get a glass of wine. Save yourself aggravation.

Beautiful view and $5AUD wine tasting which can go towards any purchase. Owners are friendly and well-traveled.
