Tamar Valley and Vineyards

The Tamar Valley Touring Route follows the Tamar River from Launceston to Bass Strait, past wildlife sanctuaries and high-yielding vineyards, but it also takes in mining and maritime heritage in Beaconsfield and George Town.

The Tamar Valley has established an excellent reputation for its sparkling wines and pinots, so why not take a guided tour of a number of vineyards? Not only will you learn the techniques and conditions that have created these fine vintages – often from the growers and makers themselves – but because someone else is driving, you’ll be able to sample as many wines as you like, and still have a glass with lunch.
