Tamar Valley Wine Route

Fodor's Choice

Along both sides of the Tamar River north of Launceston, the soil and cool weather are perfect for grape growing. In the Tamar Valley wine region, some of the outstanding varieties grown include Pinot Noir, Riesling, and Pinot Grigio; the sparkling wines produced here are world-leading. The website allows you to customize your route and plug it into Google Maps. Noteworthy stops along the route are Pipers Brook Vineyard, Josef Chromy Wines, Holm Oak Vineyards, Holyman Wines at Stoney Rise, House of Arras, the Jansz Tasmania Wine Room, and Velo Wines.
