About this tour
A five-and-a-half-hour Saturday wine tour departing Hobart at 11:15 AM, designed for wine enthusiasts who want to taste at three premium cellar doors without the early start. You'll begin at Salamanca Market, then visit Puddleduck Vineyard (cheese platter included), Wicked Cheese Co. for a separate cheese tasting, and finish with free time in historic Richmond where you can explore independently or join optional spirit tastings. Small groups of maximum 13 guests mean a relaxed pace and attentive local commentary throughout.

What to expect
You'll meet at the Tasmanian Visitor Information Centre at 11:15 AM and head first to Salamanca Market, where you have time to wander stalls before moving into wine country. The tour then takes you to three premium wineries: Puddleduck Vineyard (where a cheese platter is provided) and two other cellar doors for structured tastings, plus Wicked Cheese Co. for a dedicated tasting experience.
The final section gives you free time in the historic village of Richmond — you can explore at your own pace, browse local shops, or head to Richmond Tasting House if you want to sample spirits. Your guide provides commentary throughout the journey but leaves space for personal exploration. The tour wraps up in the afternoon.

Good to know
This suits wine and cheese lovers who prefer a leisurely Saturday outing over an early-morning tour, and works well for groups wanting a mix of structured tastings and self-directed time. The mid-morning start is gentler than most wine tours. Note that whilst all fitness levels are welcome and prams are accommodated, the tour involves multiple cellar door visits and some walking in Richmond village — comfort shoes recommended. Infants and service animals are allowed. Public transport is nearby if needed. Wine and cheese tastings are included; spirit tastings at Richmond Tasting House are optional and likely at your own cost. Group size stays under 13, so booking ahead is wise for Saturdays.
