About this tour
Spend a full day exploring Tasmania's Wine Country south of Hobart, visiting four family-run wineries for guided tastings of cool-climate drops, stopping at a celebrated cheese maker, and enjoying a long lunch paired with local wines at Puddleduck Vineyard. The 7.5-hour small-group tour (capped at 13 people) departs the Tasmanian Visitor Information Centre at 9:30 AM and includes time to wander the Georgian architecture and independent shops of historic Richmond Village, where you can duck into the local spirits bar if wine isn't your thing.

- Award-winning cheese tasting at Wicked Cheese Co.

What to expect
You'll start with a pick-up from central Hobart and travel south into the Wine Country district in a comfortable air-conditioned minibus. At each of the four wineries, your guide will walk you through the tasting process and explain the vineyard's story—expect to learn why this region punches above its weight for cool-climate varietals. Mid-tour, you'll pause at the cheese maker for samples before rolling into Richmond Village for lunch and a proper wander. The pace is relaxed; you're not rushing between stops, and there's genuine downtime to explore on foot or sit with a drink.
Good to know
Wear comfortable shoes for the Richmond Village stretch. The tour suits all fitness levels but involves standing at cellar doors and walking uneven historic pavements. Prams welcome for infants. Public transport nearby if needed. Bring sunscreen and water.
