Ambleside Distillers was one of 12 regional tourism development projects to receive investment from the South Australian Tourism Commission’s Tourism Industry Development Fund (TIDF). The move brings the total number of successful applications to 21 – with a combined project value of nearly AU$14.9 million (US$11.4m) and grant amount of AU$3.7m (US$2.8m).
Ambleside Distillers, based in the Adelaide Hills in Hahndorf, will use the money to expand its existing distillery and tasting bar, which will increase its total capacity to 150 people. The investment will also allow the distillery to start producing whisky.

Wineries, boutique accommodation, a distillery expansion, a Far North micro-brewery and a houseboat build are among the latest tourism projects to benefit from the South Australian Government’s regional stimulus program.
A further 12 new regional tourism development projects have been granted funding under the South Australian Tourism Commission’s Tourism Industry Development Fund (TIDF).
This brings the total number of successful applications to 21 – with a combined project value of nearly $14.9 million and grant amount of $3.7 million.
Premier Steven Marshall said the funding will help bolster the state’s tourism industry as it continues to recover from the dual crises of the global Coronavirus pandemic and last summer’s bushfires.
