The Regions

Tasmania is small enough to drive across in a day, yet ask any winemaker here and they'll tell you the island holds seven entirely different personalities within its borders. That's the strange gift of this place. A cool climate, a maritime chill blowing in off the Tasman Sea and Bass Strait, and enough variation in soil, altitude and rainfall to give every region its own accent.

It's this diversity that's made Tasmania one of the most exciting wine producing places in the country. Long, slow growing seasons build flavour without rushing it, while the natural acidity that comes from all that cool air keeps everything fresh and precise. The result is wine with real detail in it, whether that's a sparkling that rivals Champagne or a Pinot Noir with genuine structure and restraint.

Where a wine comes from matters here more than almost anywhere else in Australia. So before you pick a bottle, it's worth getting to know the ground it grew from.

Explore The Wild Regions

Coal River Valley

Tasmania's sunniest region, tucked around the historic town of Richmond. Low rainfall and cooling sea breezes make for wines of real distinction, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir with texture and elegance in equal measure.

Tamar Valley

The island's oldest and largest wine region, stretching from Launceston to Bass Strait. Cool maritime air and iron rich soil have supported over 30 family-run wineries here, producing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and some of the state's finest sparkling.

Pipers River & Pipers Brook

The birthplace of Tasmanian sparkling wine, with a climate genuinely compared to Champagne. This is where the island's most prestigious bubbles are made, alongside Pinot Noir and Chardonnay of real depth.

East Coast

Milder, sunnier and more relaxed than the rest of the state, running from St Helens down to Bream Creek. Pinot Noir and Chardonnay lead the way, but the East Coast also turns out standout Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sauvignon Blanc.

Derwent Valley

A region of contrasts just north of Hobart, warm days, cold nights, and a long growing season that builds flavour slowly. Known for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling of quiet elegance.

Huon Valley

Tasmania's southernmost wine region, dramatic and demanding. A cool, wet climate pushes Pinot Noir to its limits here, producing wines of real intensity, dark fruit and earthy complexity.

West Coast

The island's smallest and newest wine region, set against wild rainforest and rugged coastline. A handful of producers are coaxing Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Gris from one of the most dramatic landscapes on earth.
