Distillery Tour and Guided Tasting

With a fully guided tour, starting in the drawing rooms of Dysart House, where stories of its past unfold—tales of the families who lived there, the travelers who passed through, and perhaps even a ghost or two. As the history comes alive, you’ll be introduced to the fascinating distillation process before stepping behind the scenes into the working heart of the distillery.

Rows of barrels in all shapes and sizes cradle maturing whisky—each one quietly evolving with time. The scent of oak and spirit fills the air, and you’ll get a rare glimpse into the daily workings of a small-batch distillery.

Settle into the elegant Cask Lounge, located within the original cellar of the coaching inn. Here, your experience continues with a guided tasting of four signature Old Kempton Distillery spirits—a moment to savour the craftsmanship in every sip.

Lunch is available daily and highly recommended. Choose from antipasto platters featuring local Tasmanian produce, traditional Devonshire tea, or our rotating selection of daily specials. The café also offers expertly made cocktails, coffee, and additional tastings, open from 10am to 4pm.

Wander through our charming Cellar Door—a space filled with Old Kempton Distillery products, unique spirits, and keepsakes to remember your visit to Dysart House.

It's more than a tour—it’s a story, an experience, and a taste of Tasmania’s rich heritage in every glass. Please note: we also offer take-home whisky packs for all designated drivers who wish to still be included on the tour.
