Old Kempton Distillery


Kempton's manorial Dysart House, an 1842 colonial classic, is a suitably noble setting for a single malt experience. Pull off the highway for a whisky tasting, a bite to eat in the cafe (mains $14 to $18), or a tour (including four tastings) of the distillery and lovely old homestead (1.30pm).
