The experience

Seven hours gives you time to actually linger at each stop instead of moving through a checklist. The Coal River Valley wineries, Richmond's heritage buildings, or whatever else draws you. You set the pace. The guide picks you up from your accommodation and shapes the day around what matters to you, whether that's cool-climate wines, local food, spirits tastings, or the quieter corners locals know about. The route itself is part of it: expect good conversation, local tips and the operator's signature car-a-oke on the drive between stops.

A long lunch is possible if you want it (reservations can be arranged on your behalf, though the meal cost is separate). Tasmanian whisky and spirits are available to taste along the way. The vehicle is air-conditioned and seats a small group comfortably, so there's no jostling for space or waiting for strangers to finish their photos.

What’s included

• Private transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle.

Top questions

What wineries are in the Coal River Valley?

The Coal River Valley is Tasmania's cool-climate wine region, known for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The specific wineries visited depend on your preferences and what you want to taste. The guide will suggest options when you book and confirm details with you beforehand.

What is there to see and do in historic Richmond?

Richmond is a heritage village about 25 kilometres north of Hobart, built around a colonial bridge and lined with sandstone buildings dating back to the 1820s. The village has galleries, cafes and craft shops, and the guide can point out the history as you walk or drive through, depending on how long you want to spend there.

Can I choose what to include in my tour?

Yes. Before the tour, you'll be contacted to arrange the details. Tell the guide what interests you (wineries, whisky tastings, scenic drives, Richmond, local food spots, or lesser-known gems), and the day is built around those choices rather than a fixed route everyone follows.

Is lunch included?

Lunch is not included in the tour cost, but the guide can make a reservation for you at a local restaurant featuring Tasmanian produce if you want one. You pay for the meal separately when you eat.

What is car-a-oke?

Car-a-oke is the operator's name for singing along to music during the drive between stops. It's part of the relaxed, social atmosphere of the tour. You join in if you want to, or just enjoy the conversation and scenery.
