About this tour

You'll explore Old Kempton Distillery with a guided tour, break for lunch (your shout), then finish with more wine at Pooley in the Coal River Valley before returning to central Hobart.

What to expect
You'll be collected mid-morning and driven through rolling vineyard country to three separate venues. At each stop, expect 45 minutes to an hour: a distillery guide walks you through production methods, then you taste their products straight. The Derwent Valley opener pairs wine with cheese. Lunch happens at Old Kempton around midday—grab a pie or sandwich from the on-site cafe or bring your own. The pace is relaxed; you're tasting, not racing. The Coal River finale wraps by late afternoon.
Good to know
Bring spending money for lunch (roughly $20). The route and stop order shift based on availability and weather, so venues may swap without notice. Service animals welcome. Not suitable if pregnant. You'll need reasonable tolerance for alcohol tasting across spirits and wine.
