Charles Oates Distillery Experience

Take a journey south from Hobart to the Huon Valley and journey back in time to the mid-eighteen hundreds when Charles Oates, a recently freed convict, ventured to the valley.

Today, his descendants still work the same land, cultivating acres of apple orchards. Visit our distillery to learn the process of creating our unique small batch cider spirits. Get up close and personal with Antoinette – our copper Alembic Charentais still – the same style the French have been using for centuries to make their celebrated Calvados. Taste our suite of spirits, including the unaged Blanco Apple Spirit and several expressions of Fine Apple Brandy. Discover the essence of Tassie's namesake fruit, captured in our unique apple spirits. Enjoy a Tassie take on a French tradition and explore fine Tassie spirits.
