About this tour

What to expect
You'll be collected from a downtown Hobart location in a small-group Mercedes minibus and driven into the Coal River Valley. The day alternates between cellar door stops — typically four venues, with tasting fees covered — where you'll sample wines and chat with staff in a relaxed, informal atmosphere. Midway through, you'll sit down to a chef-prepared lunch with local produce at a vineyard venue, with dietaries accommodated and views included as part of the experience. A cheesemaker stop lets you taste and purchase artisan cheeses. Throughout the day you'll have access to complimentary chilled water. The tour finishes with direct drop-off to your central Hobart accommodation.

Good to know
This suits wine novices and collectors equally — the pitch is deliberately unpretentious. Strict age limit is 18+. Infants and small children can travel in a pram or stroller if needed; public transport is nearby. All fitness levels welcome. The itinerary shifts week to week and responds to requests, so if you have a particular winery in mind, ask ahead. Tasting fees and lunch are included; wine courier service (to ship bottles home) costs extra. Small-group format means fewer than a coach-load of people, maximising interaction with cellar door staff and fellow guests. No surprises on the bill — the tour price covers tastings, lunch, and transport.
