Tamar Valley Wine Route
Spend a full day discovering the award-winning pinot noirs, chardonnays, rieslings and sauvignon blancs from the cool-climate vineyards of the Tamar Valley. Follow the Tamar Valley Wine Route northward from Launceston on both banks of the Tamar River and eastward to the vineyards of the Pipers River area. Pause to taste the region’s acclaimed Tasmanian wines and sample the best of fresh local Tasmanian produce in the vineyard restaurants along the way. Meet the growers and winemakers as they explain the wine-making process, and stop and enjoy the majestic views oover the vineyards and across the Tamar River to the mountains beyond. Don’t miss the other highlights of the Tamar Valley – Seahorse World and Platypus World at Beauty Point and the Hillwood Strawberry Farm, where you can pick your own sweet summer fruit.
