More about this tour.

Most Hobart wine tours stick to grapes. This one opens the whole Tasmanian drinks cabinet. In a single day you visit a winery, a cider house, a brewery and a distillery, so you taste how Tassie's cool climate shows up in a glass of wine, a crisp apple cider, a fresh local beer and a dram of Tasmanian whisky or gin. Your guide comes from the makers' side of the industry, which means the stories go well beyond the tasting notes.You meet your guide at 10:30am at the bottom of the ramp at Brooke Street Pier on Hobart's waterfront, then climb into an air conditioned vehicle with a small group of no more than 16. The route changes with the day of the week and the season, heading out through the Huon or Coal River Valley and drawing on producers such as Home Hill, Pagan Cider, Willie Smiths, Cascade Brewery Bar, Sullivans Cove and Callington Mill, with a peek behind the scenes along the way.Lunch is a sit down stop at a local venue where you order off the menu, with dishes roughly $20 to $60, so you can go light or settle in properly. By around 5:30pm you are back at Brooke Street Pier, or you can finish at one of Hobart's bars or hop off on the waterfront and keep the evening rolling. Nobody has to stay sober to drive, and if you are planning the rest of your trip on the same basis, our guide to Tasmania without a car shows how far tours and transfers can take you.Want to keep the tasting theme going on another day?
