The Experience

Start in Launceston and spend the day moving through the Tamar Valley's wine country with a guide who knows the region's producers. You'll visit four to six wineries—the exact stops can shift based on what your group wants to see, whether that's a particular estate, a specific wine style, or a scenic detour. The guide handles the route and the timing, so you're tasting without organizing the logistics yourself.

At each winery, you'll taste a range of award-winning cool-climate wines and learn what makes the Tamar Valley distinct. Some stops may include a chance to meet the winemakers themselves, which changes the tasting from a pour-and-move to a conversation about how they work. Light lunch arrives partway through the day with a glass of wine included, breaking up the tastings and giving you a moment to sit.

The whole tour runs six to seven hours from Launceston, all within an air-conditioned vehicle. Because the itinerary is yours to shape before you book, you can steer toward the wineries or sights that matter to your group—whether you're after Pinot Noir, a particular vineyard's story, or a mix of wine and landscape. The guide is there to move you through it all and answer questions as you go.
