From hand-feeding kangaroos at Bonorong to seated tastings of rare-release wines, every detail of your day is thoughtfully paced and beautifully local.

Wildlife, Wine & Vineyard Dining
All in One Seamless Day
Depart
Your Journey Begins in Quiet Comfort
Your private guide greets you at your hotel or cruise port and welcomes you into your luxury vehicle. As Hobart’s cityscape gives way to open countryside, you’ll pass rolling farmland and vineyard-covered hills, the gateway to Tasmania’s oldest and most prestigious wine region.
Discover
Wildlife, Heritage & the Spirit of the Valley
Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary (VIP Encounter)
Your first stop is a heartwarming and unforgettable experience: a guided visit to Bonorong Wildlife Sanctuary, where you’ll meet Tasmanian devils, wombats, echidnas, and free-roaming kangaroos. Hand-feed them in open paddocks, learn about their stories, and gain insight into Tasmania’s conservation efforts.
Optional upgrade: Private wildlife encounter at Bonorong
Richmond Village
Next, wander the Georgian streets of Richmond — one of Australia’s most photographed historic towns. Cross the Richmond Bridge (built by convicts in 1823), browse artisan boutiques, and soak up the charm of sandstone cottages and leafy avenues. If time permits we can stop for a coffee or cake at one of Richmond’s favourite local cafés.
Taste
From Rare Wines to Vineyard Dining — A Day of True Indulgence
Frogmore Creek Winery – Gourmet Three-Course Lunch

Optional upgrade:Wine‑paired degustation menu
Pooley Wines – Private Seated Tasting
Hosted in an elegant sandstone estate, your private tasting here is guided by a wine ambassador and may include limited-release and single-vineyard wines. It’s an intimate, slow tasting experience designed to help you understand — and truly enjoy, Tasmania’s cool-climate style.
Optional upgrade: Exclusive barrel‑room or reserve tasting
Boutique Cellar Door — Your Choice of Style
Your final winery stop is tailored to your taste:
Puddleduck Vineyard: warm, personal hospitality and sparkling wines beside the duck pond
Pressing Matters :renowned for exceptional Rieslings, Pinot Noir, and a philosophy of minimal intervention
Gourmet Finale — Cheese or Chocolate
Round out the day with a sweet or savoury treat at Wicked Cheese Co. or Coal River Farm, where you can sample handmade cheese, artisan chocolate, gelato, or edible keepsakes to take home.
Return
Wind Down With One Last Look at the Valley
As the light softens, you’ll return to Hobart via peaceful back roads, perhaps stopping at a favourite lookout or rural lane along the way. After a day of indulgence, wildlife, and warm local hospitality, you’ll arrive back at your accommodation or port feeling satisfied, inspired, and deeply connected to Tasmania’s gourmet heart.
A Day Where Tasmania Slows Down and Comes to Life

It’s curated for travellers who appreciate quality, connection, and authenticity. From hand-feeding kangaroos to sipping single-vineyard pinot inside a historic homestead, every moment reveals something true about this region: its generosity, its craftsmanship, and its unmistakable sense of place.
