About this tour
Spend seven hours exploring Coal River's premier wine region with a flexible hop-on, hop-off service running hourly between seven estates. Visit Riverdale, Coal Valley Vineyard, Pooley's and others, pairing Tasmanian wines with local produce at each stop. Linger as long as you like—take a leisurely two-hour lunch, chat with winemakers, or skip ahead when you're ready. The air-conditioned shuttle handles navigation while you discover why this corner of Tasmania punches above its weight for quality, returning you to Hobart by late afternoon.

What to expect
You'll board at your chosen time and move between estates on your schedule. At each venue, sample wines and local fare—expect knowledgeable staff and working cellars rather than theme-park polish. Some stops warrant a quick 30-minute visit; others justify two hours over lunch and conversation. The shuttle departs hourly, so you're never trapped. Note that popular venues like Pooley's require advance bookings, which you'll arrange yourself. Bring cash or cards for food and wine purchases, and pace your tastings across the day.
Good to know
Pre-book cellar doors in advance—several venues won't accommodate walk-ins. Wine and lunch aren't included; budget accordingly. Carry-on wine bags are provided for purchases. The schedule works for all fitness levels and prams fit on board. Infants sit free on laps; those needing their own seat are charged as full passengers.
