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 does wine with distance, drama and cool-climate nerve. Officially recognised as one wine region, the island breaks into seven growing areas, from the North West, Tamar Valley and Pipers River to the East Coast, Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley and Huon Valley/d’Entrecasteaux Channel. Which means a Tasmanian winery trip is not one neat cellar-door crawl. It is sparkling in Pipers River, Pinot Noir in the Tamar, Chardonnay outside Hobart, Riesling in the Coal River Valley and long lunches where the view arrives before the first pour.
The best wineries in Tasmania know the glass is only part of the seduction. There are heritage cottages, rammed-earth cellar doors, river decks, vineyard restaurants, old wool farms, biodynamic estates and tasting rooms staring straight at Bruny Island, kanamaluka/River Tamar and the Hazards. House of Arras and Clover Hill make the case for Tasmanian sparkling. Pooley, Domaine A and Frogmore Creek give the Coal River Valley its spine. Moorilla brings MONA-level provocation to the bottle. Stefano Lubiana, Ghost Rock, Mewstone and the smaller cellar doors do what Tasmania does best: make precision feel deeply pleasurable.
These are the Tasmanian wineries worth building a trip around.
Stargazer
Stargazer is the Coal River Valley stop worth setting your afternoon around. At Tea Tree, Samantha Connew’s new tasting room sits above the Palisander vineyard, with one long table, small guided tastings and a pared-back elegance that gives every pour its full attention. Connew came to Tasmania to make Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling at the level she wanted; this is where that decision now has walls, windows and a view. The wines have nerve, line and charisma, but Tupelo is the one to circle: Pinot Gris, Riesling, Gewürztraminer and Pinot Blanc in a textural white blend that feels fragrant, clever and deeply drinkable. Bookings essential.
37 Rosewood Lane, Tea Tree
Sisu Wines
Coal River Valley has a sharp new cellar door to chase, and when pizza is on, the case gets stronger. Opened in late 2025, Sisu Wines sits among Campania farmland with an architecturally designed tasting room, estate-grown wines and a working winery that keeps the whole operation close to the land. The first releases make a clean, confident case for the site: Riesling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir with cool-climate line and plenty of early promise. Come for a guided flight, stay for shared bites, vineyard views and the rare pleasure of catching a Tasmanian name at the beginning of its story.
1479 Colebrook Road, Campania
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.
3343 West Tamar Highway, Sidmouth
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.
2 Upper McEwans Road, Legana
Marion’s Vineyard
Marion’s Vineyard has the lovely, stubborn romance of a place carved from bush and rock by people who meant it. Planted in 1979 on the west bank of kanamaluka/River Tamar, this Deviot estate is now run across generations, certified organic and biodynamic, and still gloriously individual. The small cellar door spills onto a deck with one of the Tamar’s great views, while the wines range from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir to Syrah, Tempranillo, cider and pet nat. Add a Mediterranean platter and settle in for a vineyard with personality in every corner.
335 Deviot Road, Deviot
Spring Vale Wines
Spring Vale Vineyard is a Cranbrook favourite, known for its hand-tended vines and character-driven cool-climate wines. Established in 1986, the vineyard produces Pinot Noir, Gewürztraminer and Sparkling styles shaped by the area’s coastal influence. Tastings are held inside historic stables built by convicts in the 1840s, giving the experience a quietly atmospheric edge. With Freycinet National Park a short drive away, Spring Vale is a welcome pause between adventures — a Tasmanian winery to sit, sip and take in a slice of the state’s pastoral heritage.
130 Springvale Road, Cranbrook
Milton Vineyard
Milton Vineyard began with wool, not wine. First farmed in 1826, this east-coast estate now turns red loam, dolerite stones and a dry maritime climate into Pinot Noir, Riesling, Pinot Gris and Gewürztraminer with real coastal lift. The cellar door pours daily, while A Tale Among the Vines gives the visit its longer rhythm: a sharing-style restaurant drawing from the garden, surrounding farms and local producers. Come for Riesling and Pinot Noir; stay for the pleasure of seeing an old wool farm remade through vines, lunch and east-coast light.
14635 Tasman Highway, Swansea
Kate Hill Wines
Kate Hill Wines gives the Huon Valley a cellar door with serious charm and no need to overplay it. Housed in an 1880s heritage-listed cottage just south of Hobart, the tasting room pours elegant, cool-climate wines shaped by one of Tasmania’s most experienced winemakers. Riesling is the bottle to watch, bright with citrus and nerve, though Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling all have their place. Add a platter, take the garden view, and let the valley do the rest.
21 Dowlings Road, Huonville
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.
46 Montana Road, Red Hills
Jansz
Jansz is what happens when Tasmania decides to take sparkling wine very seriously — and somehow still make it feel effortless. In the cool-climate folds of Pipers River, this estate leans into its trademark Méthode Tasmanoise, turning slow-ripened fruit into bubbles with real personality. Settle into the Jansz Wine Room, order a pour of the Premium Cuvée or Vintage Rosé, and take in the lake view that could calm even the busiest brain. Add a Tasmanian cheese plate and suddenly, the day makes perfect sense.
1216 B Pipers Brook Road, Pipers Brook, Tasmania
Devil’s Corner Cellar Door
Perched along Tasmania’s dramatic East Coast, Devil’s Corner is an iconic Tasmanian winery inviting you into a world where views, wine and nature converge with breathtaking ease. Arriving at the Hazards Vineyard site, two hours from Hobart, you’re greeted by a sweeping panorama of sea, mountain and sky. Sip a glass of their signature Pinot Noir or explore the Hazards and Resolution ranges, then pair it with wood-fired pizza or freshly shucked oysters from on-site partners. Here, every moment feels composed for the senses — land, sea and soul woven together seamlessly.
1 Sherbourne Road, Apslawn, Tasmania
Craigie Knowe Vineyard & Flora’s Restaurant
Craigie Knowe, Tasmania’s oldest vineyard on the Freycinet Coast, blends history and wine in the most captivating way. Just 40 minutes from Freycinet National Park, this family-run winery invites you to unwind and immerse yourself in the local charm. Their restaurant, Flora’s, elevates the experience with a modern Australian menu featuring estate-raised meats, fresh seafood, and seasonal vegetables, all paired with Craigie Knowe wines. Take a vineyard tour or enjoy a tasting to uncover the stories behind every glass.
80 Glen Gala Road, Cranbrook
Delamere Vineyard
Delamere Vineyard is one of Pipers River’s originals, planted in the early 1980s on ironstone soils and devoted entirely to Pinot Noir and Chardonnay. Today, Shane Holloway and Fran Austin run it with the kind of obsessive precision the site seems to demand: close-planted vines, hand work, long ripening and wines with structure rather than show. The still wines are excellent, but the traditional-method sparkling is where Delamere’s cool-climate nerve really shows. Book a tasting, pay attention, and let the vineyard make its case.
4238 Bridport Road, Pipers Brook
Derwent Estate Vineyard
Derwent Estate has more personality than most cellar doors can carry. The tasting begins in Rathbone Cottage, built circa 1820, where 12 wines are poured with the Derwent River spread out beyond the verandah. The estate’s straw-bale winery gives the place its modern oddity, but the glass stays serious: Pinot Noir, Riesling, sparkling and the Calcaire Chardonnay, a reserve release shaped by the valley’s limestone-rich soils. Stay for lunch at The Shed, where the old shearing-and-tractor shed has found a much better second life.
329 Lyell Highway, Granton
Domaine A
Domaine A brings Bordeaux ambition to the Coal River Valley and somehow makes it feel entirely Tasmanian. At its historic Campania estate, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Pinot Noir carry depth without losing cool-climate line. Lady A Sauvignon Blanc is the cult bottle, oak-shaped and textural, with a reputation that stretches well beyond the island. The cellar door leans into the pleasure, with considered tastings, European-style grazing and wines built for people who like their afternoons slow and their bottles serious.
105 Tea Tree Road, Campania
Pressing Matters
Pressing Matters does not make casual wine. In the Tea Tree pocket of the Coal River Valley, this vineyard has built its name on Riesling and Pinot Noir with nerve, structure and a very clear sense of place. The tasting room sits in the middle of the vines, close to Richmond but far enough from the day’s noise to make another pour feel sensible. Book a tasting, add small plates, and pay attention to the Rieslings. They are the reason people keep talking.
711 Middle Tea Tree Road, Tea Tree
Small Wonder Wines
Small Wonder is not trying to bludgeon you with grandeur, which is a relief. Out in Kayena, on the western side of the Tamar Valley, it sits in native bushland and gets on with the serious business of Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and crisp aromatic whites. The cellar door has the right instincts: guided tastings, local platters, enough view to slow the afternoon down, not so much fuss that the wine gets lost.
530 Auburn Road, Kayena
Puddleduck Vineyard
Puddleduck Vineyard knows exactly what it is, and that is its charm. Five minutes from Richmond, this Coal River Valley cellar door trades grandeur for ducks on the dam, local platters, family ease and wines poured with proper affection. The tasting moves through seven estate wines, with Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Fumé Blanc among the likely pleasures. Order from the Pecking Menu, take a seat overlooking the vineyard and let the ducks handle the floor show.
992 Richmond Road, Richmond
Moorilla Estate
If MONA is Hobart’s great provocation, Moorilla is its quieter, older pleasure. Founded in 1958 by Italian émigré Claudio Alcorso, the Berriedale estate remains one of Tasmania’s foundational vineyards, now folded into David Walsh’s museum world without losing its own pulse. Winemaker Conor van der Reest favours structure over prettiness, old-world complexity over easy charm, and estate-grown fruit that speaks clearly of river air and ancient soils. Taste at the cellar door inside MONA’s Ether building, or meet the wines across the museum’s bars and restaurants. Muse Syrah, Pinot Noir and Extra Brut are the bottles to begin with.
655 Main Road, Berriedale
Mewstone Wines
Mewstone Wines makes you work just enough for the reward. Forty minutes south of Hobart, in the tiny hamlet of Flowerpot, the Hughes brothers’ cliff-top cellar door looks across the D’Entrecasteaux Channel to Bruny Island with the calm assurance of a place that knows exactly what it has. The wines are precise and expressive, led by Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling, with the Hughes & Hughes range adding further scope to the tasting. Book a guided flight, add a grazing platter and let the glass, the channel and the island do the rest.
11 Flowerpot Jetty Road, Flowerpot
Stefano Lubiana Wines
Beside the Derwent River in Granton, Stefano Lubiana Wines has long made the case for Tasmania’s biodynamic future. The estate is the state’s first certified biodynamic vineyard and winery, shaping Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wines with a deep respect for soil, season and site. The Sasso Pinot Noir is the bottle to know, layered and expressive without losing the cool clarity of the Derwent Valley. Tastings are by appointment, which suits the place: considered, grounded and beautifully tied to the land.
60 Rowbottoms Road, Granton
Holm Oak
Holm Oak has the good sense not to take wine too solemnly. Forty minutes from Launceston, Bec and Tim Duffy’s Tamar Valley estate makes excellent Pinot Noir, then sends you into a sensory garden to smell, touch and taste the things that help explain what is in the glass: fruit, herbs, pepper berries, the small clues behind the pour. It is clever without being precious, family-run without being folksy, and far more memorable than another polite tasting bench.
11 West Bay Road, Rowella
Pooley Wines
Twenty minutes from Hobart, Pooley Wines gives the Coal River Valley one of its great cellar-door rituals. Three generations of the Pooley family have shaped the estate’s Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir, poured today from The Coach House beside the old Georgian homestead of Belmont. Tastings are seated, structured and generous with story; cheese and charcuterie boards are available daily, with wood-fired pizzas on weekends. Come for the wine, stay for the sense that Richmond’s past has found a very good glass to sit in.
1431 Richmond Road, Richmond
Craigow Wines
Craigow Wines carries Coal River history in its bones. The Cambridge estate dates back to 1822, when Scottish doctor James Murdoch was granted the land; vines came much later, planted by Dr Barry Edwards and his family in the 1990s. The result is a cellar door with real memory behind it: Chardonnay of bright, composed elegance, cool-climate reds and tastings inside a former worker’s cottage where heritage does not feel decorative. It feels lived in.
528 Richmond Road, Cambridge
Ghost Rock Wines
Ghost Rock is where Tasmania’s north coast stops being a detour and starts looking like the main event. Near Northdown, the family-owned estate has vines, paddocks and Bass Strait all doing their bit before you have even lifted a glass. The wines are estate-grown, made and bottled on site, with sparkling, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir carrying that cool coastal snap. Stay for lunch at the Cellar Door and Eatery, because leaving after a tasting would be poor judgement.
1055 Port Sorell Road, Northdown
Frogmore Creek
Frogmore Creek is where Hobart’s wine country announces itself without making a great performance of it. Twenty minutes from the city, the estate sits in the Coal River Valley with vines, water and low hills doing the scenic work. Taste through Frogmore Creek and 42 Degrees South wines, from bright Riesling to Chardonnay and Pinot Noir shaped by southern Tasmania’s long, cool growing season. Then stay for lunch, where the restaurant draws from land, sea and garden with the confidence of a winery that understands the table matters as much as the glass.
699 Richmond Road, Cambridge
Stoney Rise Wine Company & Cellar Door
Stoney Rise sits above kanamaluka/River Tamar with the confidence of a cellar door that understands restraint. Designed by Cumulus Studio, the tasting room is pared-back but generous: glass, lawn, open fireplace and a drinks list that wanders well beyond its own vineyard. The estate wines are the reason to come, especially Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, though charcuterie, sardines and serious cheese make a strong case for staying. Simple things, done with taste.
96 Hendersons Lane, Gravelly Beach
Bay of Fires Winery & Cellar Door (+ House of Arras)
At Pipers River, Bay of Fires shares a cellar door with House of Arras, which is reason enough to turn off the road. Ed Carr has spent three decades pushing Tasmanian sparkling into serious company, with House of Arras built on long ageing, cool-climate fruit and a level of patience that shows in the glass. Book a sparkling masterclass, rare E.J. Carr tasting or vineyard walk through the surrounding woodland, where native flora and the occasional platypus make the case for staying longer. Bay of Fires brings the still-wine chapter: elegant Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and aromatic whites with Tasmania written clearly through them.
40 Baxters Road, Pipers River
Clover Hill
Since 1986, Clover Hill has helped define Tasmania’s sparkling-wine confidence, working exclusively in the traditional method from its Pipers River home. The rammed-earth cellar door sits above the Lebrina Valley with a sweep of vines and hills that gives every pour a sense of occasion. Tastings move through the house’s multi-vintage approach, while chef-curated small plates and deeper masterclasses make a stronger case for staying. Come for the bubbles; leave with a clearer understanding of why northern Tasmania does them so well.
60 Clover Hill Road, Lebrina
