Tamar Valley Wine Route

The majestic Tamar Valley meanders for 58 kilometres through the heart of high-yielding vineyard country, orchards, scenic pastures and forests from Launceston to the sea.

The Tamar Valley/Pipers Brook area is the oldest wine region in Tasmania. More than 20 cellar doors are located along the wine route tour that stretches from Launceston, to Beaconsfield, east to Pipers River and south to Relbia.

Discover many quaint villages that feature arts and crafts from the local area. From gold mining towns to seaside villages full of historic buildings or enjoy a round of golf at one of Australia’s best links courses – Barnbougle Dunes.

However you choose to spend your time, make time to relax and indulge your senses by sampling fresh produce matched to the Tamar Valley’s award-winning cool climate wines from family-run producers to state of the art wineries and cellar doors.

Why not select a bottle or two from each cellar door or vineyard. Make up a dozen, the case can then be sent home, fully-insured, for the cost of freight only – a great way to keep enjoying your Tamar Valley holiday, long after you return home.
