Shene Estate is a historic homestead located at Pontville north of Hobart. The estate is one of the oldest in Tasmania being established in the 1800's. The buildings were designed by Francis Butler who was the architect for many of Tasmania's oldest buildings in the early colony and much of the labor was provided by convicts.
During the colonial days of the British Empire Shene was one of Tasmania's wealthiest estates and a prized symbol of power, today it stands as a relic of a bygone era with a new found purpose.
In addition to the distillery Shene Estate also doubles up as a perfect spot for holding a unique wedding with heritage charm. Only a few weddings are held here each year making it a sought after location.
