About this tour
A 7-hour wine tour of Tasmania's Coal River region with flexibility to set your own pace. You'll visit seven vineyards including Riverdale Estate, Coal Valley Vineyard, and Pooley's, with hourly hop-on, hop-off pickups so you can spend as long as you want at each stop — take a 2-hour lunch break, skip a venue, or linger over tastings. Wine and local produce samples showcase the region's food and wine reputation, and you're returned to Hobart by late afternoon in an air-conditioned vehicle.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from Hobart and driven to your first vineyard, where you can spend as little or as long as you'd like tasting wines and local produce. Hourly shuttles run between the seven venues, so you can hop off at whichever cellar door appeals next — some people spend an hour, others take a 2-hour lunch break at a favourite spot. The route includes a stop in Richmond to explore its colonial heritage, then continues through working vineyards and modern tasting rooms across the Coal River region. Return transport gets you back to Hobart by late afternoon.

Good to know
This suits wine enthusiasts and couples who want structure without a rigid itinerary, and families with young children (prams are welcome, infants under 2 can sit on a parent's lap for free). You'll need to pre-book cellar doors in advance — Pooley's Wine and some others require confirmation before arrival. Note that lunch and alcoholic beverages aren't included, so budget for both at the venues. The tour works for all fitness levels since you're driven between stops. Peak times may mean busier cellar doors, especially weekends. Public transport is available near pickup points if needed.
