Mike led a small fun and informative tour and tasting session followed by the chance to bottle our own whisky (of course we did!).We had a late lunch at the cafe and wow, what delicious food. This is a a great tour, great lunch destination and the staff are outstanding.
We visit the restaurant frequently for lunch and are guaranteed a tasty meal.We have also attended a couple of evening functions where the quality continues Well recommended for lunch or afternoon tea with beautiful views over the valley
Yeah ok ok.... if you were right into whisky I guess you might find this tour interesting. Personally, once is more than enough for this tour. It was simply Boring!The high rating is due to the restaurant!! Food is amazing.
We had a great coffee here and then some tastings from the Whisky they produce. You also have the Opportunity to check out how they make it. Fantastic views, you can sit and relax and a cute little Shop. Well worth a visit...
Hellyers Resturant is a great location,fantastic food and reasonably priced.quality is very good.The Hellyers distillery icecream is delicious.I recommend the tour of the distillery is very interesting, and the whisky cream is also very good.
We only had one dish, so we can't comment on the full menu, but the steak burger we had had a 'whiskey chutney' in it that gave the burger a strong alcohol taste. I know it's a whiskey distillery, so it's quite reasonable for them to use whiskey in their cooking, but it just didn't taste good, having a burger with that much uncooked whiskey in it.
Hellyers Road make a range of single malt whiskeys with some aged in different types of oak. I found the one aged in pinot nior casks to be the best. Tastings are $4 each, with 3 whiskeys plus a liqueur and bread for $11 which was good value. I found that Hellyers Road was better value than Lark.
Very interesting tour, lovely restautant/cafe and beautiful Burnie Setting. Tour only about 40 mins with a tasting and talk about product. Informative with very passionate staff.
We paid $17 pp for the distillery tour expecting tastings of products would be included. .vodkas, scotch and whisky cream. We were offered only one tasting of scotch. Very disappointed. To taste these was another $2 per taste on top of what we had already paid. I had made a booking for lunch also but left without eating such was my feeling of being ripped off.
We landed in Burnie for a day with a cruise. The town put on a great welcome for all the cruise passengers and there was no need to book a tour from the ship as the ones put on from the Information centre are great. We went to the Distillery on the hop on hop off tour and loved the building. We had the whiskey tasting plate and it was great value and lots of fun. The room was very beautifully laid out and the staff very friendly.
