The Experience
The tour departs Hobart at 9:45 am and heads east across the Tasman Bridge into Coal Valley, one of southern Tasmania's largest wine-growing areas. You'll visit at least four cellar doors from a rotating selection—Pooley Wines, Everyman & His Dog, Frogmore Creek Wines, Nocton Vineyard, and Riversdale Estate—tasting wine at each stop and sampling local chocolate and cheese. The guide, who has travelled both domestically and internationally, knows the region and can help you navigate what each vineyard does differently. You're back in Hobart between 2:30 and 2:45 pm.
Because transport is included and the driver stays with the group, you taste freely at every stop without worrying about the road back. A cheese platter rounds out the experience. The tour runs with a minimum of two people, and the operator recommends eating a solid breakfast or brunch before you start—the wine hits differently on an empty stomach, and the morning moves fast enough that lunch isn't part of the plan.
What’s included
- Transport from Hobart across the Tasman Bridge and back.
- wine tastings at four cellar doors.

- live guide in English.

Top questions
What exactly do I taste at each cellar door on the Coal Valley wine tour?
Wine is the main event at each stop; you'll also sample local chocolate and cheese as part of the experience. The specific wines and producers vary by which four cellar doors your group visits that day, since the tour rotates through Pooley Wines, Everyman & His Dog, Frogmore Creek Wines, Nocton Vineyard and Riversdale Estate.
How long is the Coal Valley wine tour from Hobart?
The tour runs about five hours total. You depart Hobart at 9:45 am and return between 2:30 and 2:45 pm, with the time split between travel across the Tasman Bridge and tastings at the cellar doors.
Is transport from my hotel included in the Hobart wine tour?
Pickup and return to Hobart are included; the tour departs from Hobart at 9:45 am and brings you back to the city by mid-afternoon. Confirm your pickup location when you book.
What's the difference between the two Hobart wine tour options?
One option is the wine tasting tour alone; the other adds a food component. Both visit the same cellar doors in Coal Valley and include transport, but the food tour option expands what you taste beyond wine, chocolate and cheese.
Do I need to eat before the Coal Valley wine tour?
The operator recommends consuming a decent breakfast or brunch beforehand. The tour moves through tastings in the morning and early afternoon without a meal stop, so starting with food in your stomach makes the experience more enjoyable.
What's Coal Valley wine region like compared to other parts of Tasmania?
Coal Valley is one of the largest wine-growing areas in southern Tasmania, with enough cellar doors and producers that a single morning can only scratch the surface. The region is known for cool-climate wines and established vineyards, which is why the tour rotates through multiple stops rather than focusing on just one or two.
