The Best Wineries in Tasmania to Sip & Savour Your Way Around
Who's ready to be enchanted by the viniferous delights, passionate winemakers and striking scenery at the best wineries in Tasmania?
Tasmania’s rich soil, cool breezes and dramatic landscapes give rise to some of Australia’s most compelling wineries. Pair that with locally made cheeses and seasonal produce, and you’ve got the kind of day that feels almost tailor-made for indulgence.
From the rolling contours of the Coal River Valley to the celebrated vineyards of the Tamar, the island offers cellar doors set among truly striking surrounds. And honestly — what beats a slow afternoon spent swirling, tasting and sharing exceptional Tasmanian wine with the people you love?
Moores Hill Estate
Set on a gentle rise in the Tamar Valley, Moores Hill Estate is Tasmania’s first entirely solar-powered winery and a thoughtful expression of cool-climate winemaking. This family-run estate produces Pinot Noir, Riesling, Chardonnay and Sparkling, all crafted on-site with quiet precision. A guided tasting unfolds beside rows of vines, accompanied by a small selection of Tasmanian cheeses and preserves. The atmosphere is relaxed but attentive, making it an easy place to settle in and appreciate wines shaped by genuine care and a deep connection to the land.

Evenfall Wines
Evenfall is one of the Tamar Valley’s most rewarding cellar-door stops. The estate opens onto long countryside views, framed by willow trees and tidy rows of Pinot vines that set a naturally unhurried pace. Tastings feature wines from Evenfall, Bellebonne and Wellington & Wolfe, with optional vineyard walks, barrel samples and food pairings that spotlight regional growers. Settle on the deck or in the tasting room and let lunch tempt you — the house bread with whipped tarragon butter is reason enough to stay longer.
Sitchu Tip: Their recent immersive dining collaboration with artist John Wren was a triumph. Here’s hoping it becomes a regular fixture.

The estate sits above the Tamar River, its deck overlooking a patchwork of vines that thrive in the coastal air. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Syrah and a lively pet-nat anchor the offering, each one poured with the kind of knowledge that only long-time growers carry. Order a local platter, choose a sunny spot outside and let the afternoon take its time.

Milton Vineyard
Milton Vineyard, set along Tasmania’s sun-kissed east coast, began as a fine-wool farm in 1826 before evolving into a boutique grower of cool-climate wines.

Meander Valley Vineyard
Meander Valley sits just beyond Deloraine, a family-run vineyard in northern Tasmania that feels like a discovery meant only for you. The cool-climate wines have a quiet electricity — sparkling Rosé that lands softly, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir with their own moods, and Baco Noir, a rare French-American hybrid found almost nowhere else in Australia. Tastings stretch out, platters brim with local goodness, and the mountains seem to breathe around you.
Feel the pull? Their dreamy onsite accommodation lets you stay suspended in the moment a little longer.

Add a Tasmanian cheese plate and suddenly, the day makes perfect sense.
