Drink Tasmania operates tours in working distilleries, breweries, wineries and cideries and other associated venues. Due to occupational health and safety requirements we strongly recommend wearing closed shoes on all our tours. At some locations you may be required to wear high-visual vests where machinery is operational. Inappropriate footwear and clothing may result in you not being allowed on the processing floor.

By booking with us you acknowledge that participation in all our tours involves inherent risks that may not be present in other tours. These risks include, without limitation, the possibility of injury or death, psychological trauma, loss or damage to property, inconvenience and discomfort.

At all times the decision of the Drink Tasmania Premium Tours tour guide or representative will be final on all matters likely to affect the safety and well-being of the tour.

This includes any decision that the tour leader makes about the on-going participation of a guest on the tour or certain activities that comprise part of the tour.

This includes any person, in the opinion of the tour leader, who is affected by alcohol or other drugs (whether prescribed by a medical practitioner or otherwise).

If a guest fails to comply with a decision made by the tour guide, or interferes with the well-being of the group, then the tour guide reserves the right to terminate this contract and order the guest to leave the tour immediately, with no right of refund.

The matter may be also reported to the Tasmanian Police if deemed necessary by the tour guide or representative. Drink Tasmania Premium Tours are not responsible for any costs incurred once a guest is removed from a tour.

You are responsible for your own behaviour. Uncontrollable and disruptive drunken behaviour will not be tolerated.

Any person deemed unruly or disruptive can be removed from the tour and will not be entitled to any refund.

Any legal action (including fines) taken against a person on the tour, or against Drink Tasmania Premium Tours because of the actions of a guest, will be the sole responsibility of that person or persons.

Drink Tasmania Premium Tours strongly recommends that you do not drive after one of our tours. We unfortunately cannot accept any responsibility for your ability to get home once our tours terminate.

Guests are responsible for any damage they cause during the tour to property of Drink Tasmania Premium Tours or any businesses we visit.

A minimum fee of $200 will apply to any damage or spillage on our bus. We reserve the right to charge your credit card without authorisation from you to cover the costs for any damage incurred by you or by guests you booked.

Smoking is not permitted in our tour vehicles or inside venues unless it is in a designated smoking area.

We are not responsible for the conduct of third party operators, venues or suppliers.

Drink Tasmania holds public liability insurance in its responsibility to both participants and venues. In the event of a claim, all dealings will be managed by our policy holder.

No information is kept, stored or shared with any other party, or for any other purpose.
