Traveler's should choose to volunteer at Wilmot Hills Distillery for a truly unique experience. You’ll be immersed in the craft of small batch spirits and cider making while surrounded by the stunning beauty of Mount Roland in the background.

I’m Jo, and I’ve been the owner and operator of Wilmot Hills for several years. I’m passionate about running a small orchard and distillery, with ethical farming at the core of everything we do. I take pride in sharing my knowledge and skills with those who are eager to learn. Volunteers can expect a warm, respectful environment where you’ll be treated with kindness, encouraged to grow, and given space to fully enjoy this unique experience.

I had an amazing 2 weeks stay at Jo's distillery.

Jo was a great host with a lot to share about life. He made me feel welcome and was very kind. His communication style and humour are very direct, but you get used to it easily. His cooking is also a nice addition to the stay.

The work is varied and interesting. You can manage your own schedule on your working days.

I had plenty of time to explore Tasmania with the car that is available for the volunteers ! I could see many amazing spots !

Bonus point for Jet the adorable dog who will be a great friend during your stay !

100% recommend !

Staying with Jo was a fantastic experience. He is kind, generous, hilarious and knows so much about so many different things. He is full of well thought out advice and helpful advice. His property is beautiful, every part of our stay was wonderful. Lots of animals nearby including Jet the most fantastic dog, sheep, horses, and lots of birds and pademelons. I hope this was only my first visit to Jo’s place:)

Jo is very easy to communicate with and is straight forward. He lets you know whats expected in terms of work and wont make you do anything you're uncomfortable with. The accomodation is cozy, clean, and a great space to wake up in and get your day started. You'll do things like mow, weed, clean and take labels of bottles, cook every so often, and depending on time of year, helping with the actual distilling process! Wilmot is a great central location for exploring beautiful hikes. We would definitely come back.

My experience at the Distillery & Orchard was amazing. Jo is an incredibly generous and knowledgeable host, always happy to share insights about the local area as well as plenty of great tips on places to visit and explore. I had a lot of fun learning about how he makes his cider, brandy, pommeau, limoncello, and his other products.

Working at the distillery was always engaging thanks to the variety of tasks, which kept each day interesting and hands-on. A definite highlight was Jo’s incredible cooking — and of course, spending time with Jet.
