Our Story

Wildstate Wines was founded by Tim Paddison and Candice Steele. Both driven by a deep appreciation for Tasmanian wine and a shared vision to make it more accessible and celebrated. With Aaron joining the team, Wildstate has grown into a platform that brings the best of Tasmania’s wine regions to people who care about quality, provenance, and connection.

We’re proud to work closely with local producers, from established vineyards to emerging talent to share wines that reflect the character of this unique island.

What We Do

Wildstate is a curated online wine store focusing exclusively on Tasmanian wine. Every bottle we stock is handpicked for its quality, individuality, and the story it tells. We highlight small scale, independent producers who prioritise sustainability, craftsmanship, and a genuine connection to place.

Our goal is simple: to make it easier for people to discover and enjoy Tasmania’s best wines wherever they are.

Why Tasmania?

Tasmania is one of the most exciting and distinctive wine regions in Australia. Its cool climate, clean air, and diverse geography create the perfect conditions for elegant, expressive wines. From the Tamar and Huon Valleys to the East Coast and beyond, each region offers something different and we’re here to help you explore it.

“Tasmania is home to some of the best wines in Australia and we want to share our passion in sourcing the most unique wines of the region with the rest of the world.”
