Step Into Tasmania’s Wine Country Where Stories Are Poured With Every Glass
Just beyond Hobart lies the Coal River Valley, a patchwork of vineyards, colonial villages, and sweeping countryside that feels like it belongs to another time.
This private day tour invites you to taste exceptional cool-climate wines, explore historic Richmond, and soak in the character of one of Tasmania’s most loved regions.
Your Coal River Adventure:
Scenery and Food
Depart
Begin the Day With a Drive Into Wine Country
Your guide will collect you from your accommodation and lead you out of the city via the Tasman Bridge, heading northeast into vineyard country. Along the way, you’ll hear stories of Tasmania’s early settlers and the rise of its world-class cool-climate wine scene.
Discover
Wander Historic Streets & Hidden Vine Rows
Richmond Village
Step into one of Australia’s most photographed towns, with colonial architecture, artisan shops, and quiet streets that feel untouched by time. Walk across the Richmond Bridge, visit the charming church, and maybe stop for a pastry at a local café.
Optional third winery or artisan visit
If the day allows, your guide can tailor a final stop at a boutique cellar door — perhaps Every Man & His Dog, Pressing Matters, or Coal Valley Vineyard — depending on your palate and preferences.
Taste
Cool-Climate Wines, Vineyard Views & Seasonal Plates
Pooley Wines
Start the tasting journey with one of Tasmania’s most celebrated winemaking families. Their Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Chardonnay are beautifully expressive of Coal River Valley’s terroir.
Puddleduck Vineyard
A relaxed, family-owned spot with a lakeside setting and the chance to meet the makers themselves. Try their sparkling wines or upgrade to a cheese platter experience by the pond.
Frogmore Creek
Enjoy a long lunch with vineyard views at this award-winning estate. The menu changes with the seasons, and your guide will arrange a table with a view overlooking the valley.
Return
Ease Back to Hobart With the Valley in View
As the afternoon softens, take a scenic route home through farmland and gentle hills, maybe pausing for a photo or a quick roadside treat. Your guide will return you to your accommodation or cruise port, with time to unwind and enjoy the rest of your evening.
With local produce, vineyard views, and local artisan spots you won’t find on the tour bus routes, this day is pure Tasmanian flavour — personal, scenic, and unhurried.
