Embrace the Tamar Valley wine region... cool-climate wines, cellar doors, and warm hospitality.
The Tamar Valley is home to Tasmania’s oldest and most renowned wine-growing region, with more than thirty boutique vineyards scattered along both sides of the river. Many have cellar doors offering tastings, local produce platters, and spectacular views over the vines. You’ll meet passionate winemakers, enjoy cool-climate favourites like pinot noir and riesling, and discover why the valley is a favourite among wine lovers. The journey through the Tamar Valley is just as memorable as the wine itself. As you follow the winding roads that trace the river’s edge, you’ll pass vine-covered hillsides, and sweeping valley views at every turn. Prefer to sit back and let someone else drive? Local tour companies like Tamar Valley Wine Tours, Valleybrook Wine on Wheels, and Luxury Golf & Scenic Tours offer curated day trips departing from Launceston. |
