Premium Whisky Tasting, Tour and Lunch Experience

Tucked away in the heart of Tasmania, the historic Dysart House in Kempton has been home to Old Kempton Distillery since 2015. Within these grand sandstone walls, we craft a range of small-batch spirits—single malt whisky, gin, and liqueurs—each one made with 100% Tasmanian ingredients and a whole lot of passion.Your experience begins with a warm welcome and a guided stroll through the halls of Dysart House, where stories of its past come to life. You’ll learn about its colourful history and get an introduction to the traditional art of distillation. From there, we’ll take you behind the scenes into our working distillery and bond store, where rows of maturing whisky barrels line the walls—each with its own tale to tell. And if you’re lucky, you might just catch a whisper of one of the house’s legendary ghost stories…After your tour, unwind in our elegant Cask Lounge, nestled within the old coaching inn that now serves as our cellar door. Here, you’ll be treated to a guided tasting of four handcrafted Old Kempton spirits, followed by our premium antipasto platter, showcasing some of the best produce Tasmania has to offer. To complement your meal, you can select a bottle of fine Tasmanian wine to share—because great food and great spirits deserve great company.Before you go, take a moment to explore our Cellar Door, filled with our signature spirits, locally made produce, and keepsakes to remember your visit. Round out your afternoon with a freshly brewed coffee or tea, the perfect way to toast to an unforgettable day.And for our designated drivers—we haven’t forgotten you! Take-home tasting packs are available so you can enjoy the full Old Kempton experience later, at your leisure.This is more than a tour.
