Wine Tasmania

Welcome to the world of Tasmanian Wine and Tasmanian Wine Routes.

Tasmania’s quality wines are made from grapes grown in climates similar to those of the famous European wines - with mild summers and long autumn days that ripen the grapes slowly.

Tasmania’s first vineyard was planted at New Town, a Hobart suburb, in 1821. In 1848, its white wine won an award at the Paris Exhibition. Tasmania now produces elegant cool climate wines such as pinot noir, riesling, chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, cabernet sauvignon, pinot gris and sparkling wines.

Today, Tasmania enjoys a national and international reputation as a leading producer of Australia’s premium cool-climate wines, winning high praise, not to mention an array of medals, from wine judges and critics alike. 

So relax and rejuvenate your senses with a visit to one or more of Tasmania’s wine regions.
