You’ll quickly find that Tasmania’s vineyards are generally not found on flat land but follow the curve of a valley. Rocky outcrops and windy hilltops challenge the hardiest of vine roots and the most committed of grape growers. This makes for diverse and distinctive wines – ancient soils vary wildly from one side of the creek to the other and no two vineyards or vintages are the same.
You’ll be able to taste the flavours of the season in each glass.
From converted heritage stables to ultra-modern cellar doors, chat and kick the dirt with our wine producers to find out why they have chosen to grow grapes and make wine in these extreme conditions on the edge of the world.
How awesome are Tassie’s wines?
We know how to answer that! Our little island enjoys a global reputation as a leading producer of premium cool climate wines, winning high praise and accolades from wine lovers and critics. We’re talking crazy good pinot noir, seriously good sparkling, cheeky chardonnays, elegant rieslings, delicious pinot gris and more!
Growing and making…
Are you interested in finding out more about growing and making wine on our island? There's a term you might hear fairly often to describe what it's all about - "high risk = high reward"…
WHO WE ARE AND WHAT WE DO…
Wine Tasmania is the peak body for the island's wine producers, with a focus on promoting Tasmania as a cool wine region like no other on the planet, with demand for its wines continuing to exceed production. We have 125 voluntary wine business members, representing more than 95% of the island's total wine production, 122 associated member businesses and 5 Life Members. We are overseen by a Board of Directors and we have really cool staff… (OK, we just made that bit up but it’s worth reading more here)...
Wine Tasmania acknowledges the Aboriginal people as the traditional owners of lutruwita (Tasmania), our island home. Our vines have their feet in the ancient soils of lutruwita and benefit from the water that generously falls on this island. Our grapes breathe and thrive in the island’s crisp fresh air and our vineyards are planted along our precious waterways, which moderate vineyard temperature and help to protect them from frosts. We therefore thank and pay our respects to the Tasmanian Aboriginal communities, elders past and present and recognise their deep and spiritual connection to this amazing place, lutruwita.
