What you'll see and do
Spring Bay Distillery
Visit the Spring Bay Distillery in Cambridge, not far out of Hobart. This is where it all happens, and the owners, Susanne and Cam are delighted to tell you their story before we embark on spirit tastings and distillery experience. Take a sneak peek and sample from one or two never released casks, or from the distiller’s favourite cask. Spring Bay have a newly built Solera where you can bottle your very own 200ml bottle of cask strength Whisky. You will sample their signature Gins and Vodkas along with several Whiskies and learn all about the art of distillation from their experienced distillers. We will have opportunities to sample the Wort, the liquid extracted from the Mash during the brewing process of Whisky.

Hobart Whisky is not open to the public. This is a true behind the scenes experience where you will meet the distillers in person. John, Ben or Trevor will talk you through the repurposed old Egg Factory and how they make the “Water of Life” like no other. Using a Whisky Thief, be the first to draw samples from barrels that are upcoming releases, never before sampled by the public. Here you will see hundreds of barrels racked to the ceiling and you will have the opportunity to marry your own whisky from 5 single malt casks. Learn the fine art of distillation, get your hands dirty and sample Gins, Vodka, Whisky, Rum and Liqueurs. In the main distillation room, you can sample the new make direct from the still and even stir a mash. Lunch will be served here in the Distillery Loft - Locally catered individual options for each tour.

Killara Distillery
One of the newest distilleries on the scene and owner, Kristy Lark is of local distiller heritage. Here you will meet and chat with Kristy and her distiller team. You will be greeted with a beautiful Lavender Gin or other fitting beverages to reflect the days weather. You will sample incredible Whiskies, Gins, and Liqueurs. Our favourite sample is exclusive to you, the "Infinity Barrel". Killara's original Whisky is in the barrel and every cask produced has a portion added to that barrel, never going below 1/3. This is a historical journey of Killara's Whisky from its establishment to today.

Great day on Bruny
6 out of 5. This was a fantastic tour. Lee knew his subject, wasn’t fazed by idiot questions or opinions. This gentleman is an asset to the company. Lee talked on a wide & varied range of topics. Very knowledgeable of Bruny Island imparting a vast amount of information to all on board. The tour covered a wide range of Bruny Island giving an in-depth overview of this part of Tassie. We were very well looked after, morning tea, lunch & afternoon tea were all exceptional. Too much to say here of just how good we enjoyed this day out with a great guide. On an overcast day Lee even found us a White Wallaby to photograph, Dave didn’t for his group. 👍 (Liz enjoyed it too).

A great day exploring the best of Tassie's distilleries!
My husband and I along with some friends did this tour. From the outset, everything was well organised and professional, with a personal feel. The tour guide had a great rapport with all the distillery owners, along with a great knowledge himself of the distillery process. He also had a great sense of humour, many laughs were shared through the day. We were able to taste a wide range of spirits, from vodka, whisky, gin, liqueurs and more whisky. We were even able to do some tastings direct from an oak barrel using a syphon to gather our individual tastes. To be honest, I am not usually a spirits drinker, but a whole new appreciation started this day and we may have taken home more than one bottle! My personal favourite was a unique bush liqueur. I would recommend this tour for both a spirits lover and newbie alike.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the amazing Review. I am passionate about the Distilling industry in Tasmania and know most of the 100+ distilleries managers and owners by name. I have and continue to serve Whisky, Gin, Vodka and Liquor at events in Hobart for several distilleries and also sit tasting panels. Our tours are special to anything you may have attended before - Pull your own sample, be part of a tasting panel, purchase one off bottles that you fill yourself and have them personably labelled. Hope to see you again very soon.

Taking in Tassie's beauty, tastings and Christmas shopping ticked off. A great day out.
I can't recommend this tour enough. It was a fabulous not too long of a day with friends. There's quite a few hidden gem quality distillery's in Tasmania and we got to see whiskey being made, tastings from the barrell, as well as liqueurs. Our hosts Craig and Dave were great fun and took interest in getting to know us as well. Value for money and jam packed yet there was time to take in Tassie's beauty. Bonus for me - I got a few Xmas presents ticked off along the way. Thanks guys and maybe we can do this again sometime.
Response from the operator: Your welcome - The Distilleries we visit are all very welcoming and passionate about what they produce. So many samples to try and enjoy. See you next time.

Private Tassie Distillery Tour - Tastings, Lunch and Morning Tea: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Hobart.
How much does Private Tassie Distillery Tour - Tastings, Lunch and Morning Tea cost?
+
Prices start at $450 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Hobart usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Tassie Distillery Tour - Tastings, Lunch and Morning Tea take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Hobart is not rushed.
Is Private Tassie Distillery Tour - Tastings, Lunch and Morning Tea worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Hobart, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Tassie Distillery Tour - Tastings, Lunch and Morning Tea?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Tassie Distillery Tour - Tastings, Lunch and Morning Tea suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 6-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Tassie Distillery Tour - Tastings, Lunch and Morning Tea?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Hobart can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Hobart and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Tassie Distillery Tour - Tastings, Lunch and Morning Tea start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Hobart within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Hobart?
+
On Outty we rank every Hobart experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include kunanyi/Mt Wellington Explorer Bus- Return Tour (2.5 hours), Full-Day Guided Bruny Island Tour from Hobart, Maria Island Cruise and Guided Walk Day Tour with Lunch and Drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Hobart?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Hobart?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
