A day experiencing lovely scenery & produce
Great day with Tim our tour guide.
Went to places we would never have found on our own.
Lovely lunch, great wineries, a visit to a cheese maker & a lovely distillery.
Not rushed, well paced.
Felt very authentic as each place we visited we were met with very hospitable owners, passionate & proud of their produce.
Nice small group which also a bonus.
Highly recommend this tour.

A great day out
This was easily one of the best wine tours I’ve ever experienced. Louise and Jens were incredible hosts, guiding us through a selection of outstanding wineries. What made it truly special was being introduced to the wines by the vineyard owners themselves—it added such a personal and memorable touch. If you’re planning a trip to Hobart, this is an absolute must-do. A perfect 10/10!

Good selection of...
Good selection of wineries and cheese place was quite good. Most wines were quite nice. Only down side 3rd winery we went to the person doing tasting didn’t drink wine and matched them with lollies. Tour guide Ben was really good also offering information about the wineries and area. Would recommend to others Looking for a wine tour.
Operator response
Thank you so much for joining us on the Coal River Valley Wine Tour and for sharing your feedback. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the winery selection, the cheese stop, and Ben’s hosting — he takes great care in sharing local insights and ensuring a smooth, enjoyable day.
We appreciate your note regarding the third winery. Each venue has its own unique style of presenting tastings, and while they don’t pair wines with lollies, some hosts do use creative descriptors to help guests explore flavour profiles.
Your feedback is helpful as we continue refining our curated itinerary to ensure every stop reflects the experience we aim to deliver.
Thank you again for recommending our tour to others. We hope to welcome you back for another Tasmanian wine adventure soon.
