Callington Mill Distillery

Callington Mill Distillery is built around a beautifully restored 19th-century windmill in the historic Midlands town of Oatlands, roughly midway between Hobart and Launceston. The landmark mill — one of the few working windmills of its kind in the country — gives the distillery a genuinely unique setting and a strong sense of place steeped in Tasmanian heritage.

The appeal is that blend of history, architecture and craft: a working distillery producing whisky and spirits, paired with a cellar door and dining, all within a striking heritage site. It's a rewarding stop on a Midlands road trip, offering a taste of Tasmania's renowned spirits scene alongside a remarkable piece of colonial history.

With a 4.8 rating from more than 1,000 reviews, it's clearly delivering a memorable experience. Tours, tastings, dining and opening hours vary, and a popular distillery destination can get busy, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you make the trip — particularly if you'd like a tour or a meal, and to allow time to explore both the distillery and the historic mill itself.
