A short drive from Hobart, the Coal River Wine Region nestles into the valleys to the north and south of the beautiful and historic town of Richmond. Low rainfall during the growing season, plenty of sunshine hours and cool breezes from the Tasman Sea to the south produce very distinctive chardonnays, pinot noirs, rieslings and sauvignon blancs. 

The most southerly wine region in Tasmania (and therefore Australia), the Huon Valley follows the path of the Huon River as it makes its way from Lake Pedder to the D'Entrecasteaux Channel. The north facing vineyards are protected from the cold southerly winds yet still enjoy a maritime-influenced climate. Gentle summer warmth allows for a long, slow ripening producing high quality pinot noir, chardonnay and sparkling wines.

Stretching from St Helens in the north to Bream Creek in the south, the East Coast wine region combines spectacular coastal scenery with some of Tasmania's finest wines. A milder climate than the rest of Tasmania, the East Coast is home to more than 20 producers and over 300 hectares under vine.  While Pinot Noir and Chardonnay dominate the plantings, many high quality examples of riesling, pinot gris, sauvignon blanc and even tempranillo can be found.

Wild wilderness, cool temperate rainforests, rugged mountains, wild rivers, and windswept coasts – This is the West Coast. The smallest and newest wine making region in Tasmania. Home to a handful of wine producers making cool climate styles. Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Riesling being the most common to the area.

The Derwent Valley wine region is located to the north-west of Hobart. It begins in the lower reaches of the River Derwent around Granton and ends in the hills and valleys around Meadowbank. Vineyards are located on the north facing hillsides that rise up from the river. Like much of Tasmania, the region is dominated by plantings of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. Once seen as very marginal for grape growing, the upper reaches of the Derwent are now producing some stunning examples of cool climate wines.

The hilly region North West of Launceston, with its natural beauty, is home to some of Tasmania’s most highly regarded sparkling wine producers. Dr Andrew Pirie established the region in 1974 with Pipers Brook Vineyard.

Pipers River has very similar climate to that of Champagne France, giving perfect growing conditions of Sparkling Wine.
