Go behind the scenes of the Old Kempton Distillery, learn the stories of Dysart House, and enjoy a guided tasting of four unique drams during this whiskey-themed tour. Finish the experience with an antipasto platter made with fresh Tasmanian produce accompanied by a bottle of wine.

Your fully guided tour starts with a brief tour through Dysart House which includes a short history of the house and an outline of the distillation process.
