Dunalley Bay Distillery Tasting Hut

Insisting my partner to go to this place and you know what? The place was just fantastic! It's homey, the gin and the whiskey were just top notch. The owner (who coincidentally is my fellow countryman lol): Sandra was just a delightful to talk to. She is a ball of energy and having that aura of a long lost friend who you would like to talk to for hours. Sadly we can't drink too much since we needed to drive so I just had a sip, next time I make sure I will drink a bit more if I come again.

Big love!

Stopped in the other day with two friends of mine for a tasting and I have to admit, not really being a gin drinker(it’s not as popular back home in Canada as it is here) I was pleasantly surprised. The lovely lady at the counter, she should have a name tag lol, was very helpful in explaining how the different gins got to be where they are. We sat in a very comfortable room with a beautiful view and enjoyed them all along with a delicious cheese plate. This place will definitely be a place I will stop again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it to anyone else in the area or anyone planning to get out and do a round of sampling in the area.

Fabulous stop & tasting on our way from Hobart to Port Arthur and what an amazing location! Scotch & gin top notch! An absolute highlight of our day & thoroughly recommended!

Definitely a must-go place in Dunalley! Amazing Gin, friendly staff, beautiful view, fantastic vibe. I found everything I need for a good day here!

Nice spirits, with a very knowledgeable distiller, that is more than happy to discuss his spirits and what goes into them

No acorns where found but Scratt found something much better

I've never been a huge liquor fan and came here after seeing the great reviews and didn't expect to get much out of it but some nice photos of the place.
But! The sweet sweet lady (forgot to ask her name) at the counter took me and my family on a journey all about gin! It was so much fun to try the different flavours, she was knowledgeable and we felt so comfortable (unlike ahem the slightly snobby wineries around) I definitely learnt a lot and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this beautiful little spot to all my friends and family coming to Tassie.

We bought a bottle of gin but the real gem was the unexpected but delicious whiskey the owner Mark let us try. I hesitate to write more because I'm hoping to keep this place my own little secret 🤫 but I kid you not- it beat comparably priced whiskeys from other famous Tasmanian brands right out of the park.

Thank you so much to both Mark and wonderful gin lady for the wonderful experience. It has definitely been a highlight on our trip!

What a magic find. A very welcoming crew and a great tasting. We took away as many bottles as the airlines would allow. Great gifts. Highly recommended.

Nice carrot cake, coffee and liquor The location is real paradise!

If you like gin, do yourself a favour and go here! We decided to swing past this distillery after trying out others in the area and my goodness we were not disappointed! The gin here was on another level, ranging from the original classic juniper drys to a broad range of incredible sloes and spins of the original. Mark was super friendly and welcoming, and we appreciated his hospitality. Would recommend this distillery over some other larger known ones around town. I am a avid gin drinker and 10/10 will be coming back and recommending to all of my friends! Thank you Mark.

I am long over due posting this review as we visited Dunalley Bay Distillery at the end of September 2022! What reminded me, is we just finished the bottle of JJJ gin we purchased, along with the spiced gin and also a bottle of blue blue!
Well to say we were blown away is the understatement…….the spot where the tasting hut is located is a little stretch of Paradise right on the bay and we were welcomed in like very old friends!
The hut is rustic yet substantial and there is plenty of places to enjoy the view sipping their hand crafted gins.
Our pick was definitely the JJJ followed by the spiced gin, which is delicious either neat or with ginger beer for a yummy alternative.

All in all it was a great afternoon enjoying their spot of paradise and magnificent range of gins.
Thanks go to Sandra and Mark, the owners who was so welcoming, friendly and knowledgeable.
Make sure you stop by…….. you won’t be disappointed! 🌟🌟🌟

Really nice place, with a selection of wines, cheeses, cocktails and outdoor area with a great view of the bay.

Fantastic Gin with stunning views dog freindly too no better way to spend an afternoon thank you

Really nice gin, we were lucky enough to discover it while visiting Port Arthur. We will definitely make it a point to visit the distillery next trip. In the meantime we get to enjoy sharing this wonderful gin with our family and friends, while discussing the time we had in Tasmania.

Amazing place with unusual and very special selection of gins and super friendly service.

Highly recommend buying some fish and chips from the fish market and eating them here (same owner). Superb location and hospitality.

Popped in for a quick tasting on our way back from Port Arthur. We were made very welcome by the owner, he proudly showed us around and we had a lovely chat about his plans for the place. It’s not long opened and they’ve done a fantastic job decorating and setting it up. They have their own gin distilled on site, as well as local wines and cheese
We were encouraged to take our glass of gin down to the beach. Which is spectacular. We were the only ones on the beach, it was so lovely.
They are newcomers to the area, but obviously love the place and and promote other local businesses.
If your lucky they might have some fresh local oysters which would go very well with a gin or glass of wine
Well worth a stop😋

A wonderful range of boutiques gins. The tasting was excellent with a very friendly and helpful host. We found a few favourites to take home with us, well worth the visit.

What a brilliant experience.
The bride and I had a sensational tasting session resulting in the purchase of more than we bargained for - we couldn't decide what to buy so we just bought more haha.
All of the spirits we tasted were bloody delicious but the experience was made even better by the young lass serving us, what an asset she is to this fine establishment.

Popped in our trip around Tassie. Was a pleasant surprise on the side of the road. We did a gin tasting. Beautiful gins and the owner was absolutely lovely. She has designed a beautiful tasting room right by the water. Definitely would recommend if you are in the area.

Such a wide range of gin, something for everyone even if you don’t like gin there’s a gin for you! Great options to sit in and have a few G&T, cocktails and enjoy in the afternoon.
