G'day All,

I am looking for recommendations for distillery tours when I travel from Darwin to Canberra (via QLD) and down to SA and back to Darwin through the red centre.

Does anyone have any recommendations on where an amateur distiller should stop and visit?

Thanks Lads and Ladies!

Cheers,

Matt.

The Saleyards distillery is pretty good here in rocky but doesn’t look like you’re coming this way.
There is Sunny Hills distillery in SA, they did an intro here not long ago. All FSD gear, definitely worth a visit imo :handgestures-thumbupleft:

Black gate distillery in central west nsw worth a look, its been a while but i think there was a minimum for a tour. worth a call though

Maybe doc's dobsons distillery (eastview estate)would be worth a visit, have heard good things and they have a resturant as well I think :handgestures-thumbupleft:

I'd give tambourine mountain distillery a miss, just a cellar door and no option for a tour as far as I could tell. Apparently they don't ferment on site, just flavour or re-distilll commercially bought neutral. I wasn't impressed with their Limoncello, no where near as good as the recipe on this site. I bought their choc mint liqueur, but it's still half full after about 4 years. The bloke was very vague with details and even suggested that home distillers could just register their stills with the ato and it'd all be sweet.

:text-+1: Tamborine Mountain Distillery absolute waste of time.

Thanks for all the replies Gentlemen!

Greatly appreciated

You'll find not many of them ferment on-site (apart from Doc of course). I believe they buy their neutral in from wineries. I went t one in the Adelaide Hills and they wanted $30 to stand there listening to a bloke tell you how a pot still works. You can get all that info here...

If you are passing by Matt, let me know I will give you a personal tour if I can... we do make all our own spirit and process/ distil into the bottle on site. would be happy to show you around.

Very lucky to visit Eastview today. The knowledge is bursting out of the Dr. Bought 2 versions of Whiskey and some tonic. Bought the fabulous Sweet Pea in Canberra .

What a pleasure seeing you and the family. I do a lot of tours of the distillery, but it is so good when you have knowledgable distillers, it makes the tours more interesting for me, I get to ask questions for a change and learn about your set ups and methods. It was a good to meet at last, drop by anytime.
