I have always wanted to learn more about whisky so this tour out of Hobart was perfect for me. We visited three excellent distilleries, each quite different but all offering generous tastings. The first stop included a private tour of a distillery and we were shown the whisky making process. The drive through Tasmania's spectacular scenery was an added bonus, making the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations. Our guide was professional, knowledgeable, and friendly and he kept the day running smoothly. The bus was clean and comfortable, and we appreciated having the freedom to choose our own lunch venue in the town where we stopped. A wonderful day from start to finish. My only recommendation is to arrange transport home afterwards—you'll definitely want to enjoy all the generous tastings without having to think about driving!

A great gin and whisky tour
B
Great experience - fun day
Brilliant tour and a fun day out. Knowledgeable guide who could talk about whisky, wine industries and Tasmania in general. Hosts at each distillery were approachable, friendly and very happy to answer any questions we had. Loved that there was gin tasting available at most distilleries for those the non whisky drinkers. Highly recommend!
B
Great day out with good people and a great atmosphere.
We had a wonderful day out. The scenery and commentary was great. Peter the tour operator was knowledgeable and professional. This tour would be great for people wanting to have a great time tasting some really nice beverages in a laid back setting.

A Gin-uine Good Time
Cannot recommend Pete and Boutique wine tours enough. I’ve previously been on a wine tour with them, so I was very excited to see they are also offering whiskey and gin tours 🥃 Tasmania is spoilt with some of the best whiskey and gin operators, a great day out.

Great day out with tassies finest whisky
What a fantastic day! The guided whisky tasting at Kempton was incredibly well organised, fun, and a great way to experience parts of Tasmania that I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to see otherwise. The highlight was definitely the tastings at Sullivan’s Cove—it was exceptional and a real treat. A brilliant day out with great scenery, fantastic whisky, and excellent organisation. Highly recommend!
