About this tour
Spend a morning and early afternoon touring the Tamar Valley's premier wineries with a knowledgeable guide. You'll visit three to four cellar doors, tasting wines whilst learning how the region's cool climate and winemakers have shaped its character. Lunch with matched wines breaks up the day. The small-group format—eight guests or fewer—keeps things relaxed and personal. Door-to-door transport from Launceston, six and a half hours total.

What to expect
Your guide collects you from your Launceston accommodation and drives through rolling vineyard country, stopping at three to four working cellars. At each, you'll taste a selection of wines—reds, whites, perhaps a sparkling—whilst the guide talks through the vineyard's story and what makes Tamar fruit distinctive. You'll develop a feel for the region's signature cool-climate styles. Mid-tour, you'll sit down to lunch with wine included, giving you space to absorb what you've tasted and chat with fellow guests. The pace is unhurried; no rushed bus-stop atmosphere.
Good to know
Minimum age is 18. Not suitable if you have significant back problems, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. The vehicle is air-conditioned but involves moderate amounts of sitting and walking between cellar buildings. Service animals welcome.
