The Best of Hobart To Launceston
Depart
From Hobart to the Heartlands
Your day begins with a relaxed pick-up from your Hobart accommodation. Settle into your private vehicle as your guide leads you north along the historic Midlands Highway. Along the way, you’ll pass hop fields, pastures, and rolling farmland, with time for a morning stop in one of Tasmania’s best-preserved Georgian towns — Ross or Oatlands. Whether you’re sipping coffee beside the famous stone bridge or browsing an antique shop, this leg of the journey offers a perfect blend of history and countryside calm.
Discover
Explore Tasmania’s Elegant North
Your curated day continues with handpicked highlights that showcase Launceston’s beauty and its surrounds:
Cataract Gorge – Walk beneath cliffs and cross suspension bridges in one of Tasmania’s most iconic natural reserves, just minutes from Launceston’s centre.
Tamar Valley Wine Region – Home to some of Australia’s finest cool-climate wineries, where sparkling, pinot noir and chardonnay take centre stage.
Launceston’s Riverside Precinct – Glimpse this northern city’s heritage charm, from colonial architecture to leafy parks and quiet laneways.
Ross, Oatlands or Evandale – Choose from Tasmania’s most photogenic villages, each full of Georgian character, artisan stores, and local surprises.
Optional Stops – Add in a distillery visit, a museum tour, or a second cellar door – your day is tailored to your tastes and travel style.
Taste
Cool-Climate Wines & Countryside Flavours
Tasmania’s northern food scene is subtle, elegant, and deeply rooted in its landscape. Enjoy a gourmet winery lunch in the Tamar Valley — where seasonal produce and fine wines are served with views over rows of pinot and sparkling vines. Along the way, sample handmade treats at a village bakery or pause for coffee in a stone-lined courtyard.
Whether you’re toasting with a Chardonnay at Josef Chromy or discovering hidden gems like Tamar Ridge or Clover Hill, every bite and sip connects you more deeply with place.
Return
A Scenic Wind-Down Back to Hobart
After an afternoon of tasting, walking and exploring, your guide will escort you on the scenic drive south, offering one last look at the rural landscapes that shape Tasmania’s food and wine. Stop for a final stroll or refreshment in a quiet village if time allows, before returning to Hobart in the late afternoon, relaxed, inspired, and with a new perspective on the island’s northern elegance.
It’s not just a transfer to Launceston — it’s a guided story of the land, told by someone who knows its quiet roads, country cafés, and best-kept vineyard secrets.
