Jo is incredibly generous and knowledgeable about all things Tasmania, travelling and distilling! Was expecting only an education on distilling but Jo taught me so much about life. Takes a while to get Jos humour but once you do you'll have lots of laughs with him. The views from the property and everywhere near it were incredible so many places to visit near the winery. And Jet his dog is the best companion!

I am incredibly grateful for my experience at Jo's! During my stay I learned so much, not only about the farm and the farm but also about life. I was given a list with tasks which had to be done and was able to work independently, which allowed me to develop new skilled and gain new experiences. Jo's very precise and fair about the working hours and the place is an absolute dream to stay at. Jo made sure I feel welcome and was very generous at all times. I truly appreciate the be part of the daily operations and the work involved.
