Old Kempton Distillery and Cafe

More Information

Old Kempton Distillery is located in an 1840s mansion called Dysart House, in the picturesque colonial town of Kempton. A comfortable 40-minute drive from Hobart and 2hrs from Launceston.

Our Distillery offers a range of tasting flights including Whisky, Gin and Liqueurs. We have a range of tour options and an all-day Cafe. Our Cellar Door is full of locally made produce, including Olde Spikey Bridge Peanut Butter, Tasmanian Kitchen Pantry, and Port Arthur Lavender Farm products.

A fresh, home-cooked menu is available, including our popular Devonshire Tea made fresh daily, house-made whisky beef pies, and antipasto platters. We also have cocktails, espresso coffee, hot chocolate, and milkshakes. Please feel free to contact us about group bookings by emailing sarah@oldkemptondistillery.com.au

We cater to functions from 8 people to 40 and love to make their day special to them in any way we can.

The distillery is only a short 1-min drive off the Midlands Highway with plenty of parking for vehicles of all sizes, including buses and camper vans.

We have a Distiller Experience to teach you all things Distilling and you can even purchase and mature your own 20L barrel of whisky!
