Tamar Valley Wine and Food

A wineries tour of the Tamar Valley is the perfect day trip from Launceston, but to truly appreciate the experience, you should consider spending three days in the area.

The river banks of the Tamar feature many boutique to medium-sized vineyards and wine outlets, a number of which have restaurants overlooking the peaceful river and the lush rolling countryside that surrounds it.

Grapes are picked in April and May – you may even be able to help in the harvest. In January, enjoy the distinctive flavour of lavender cheese at the Lavender Festival. In October and November, be sure to choose menu items featuring locally grown asparagus.  From November to May dine alfresco on fresh strawberries with King Island cream.  And all year round, enjoy discovering for yourself the many wonderful boutique pinot noirs, chardonnays, rieslings and sparklings available throughout the valley.
