Wine Trails

OK, so we might be a little biased, but we are sure you will enjoy your virtual tour around Tasmania’s four wine trails.

We can’t wait for you to start planning your visit! It means you are one step closer to getting here, one step closer to meeting our friendly growers and makers and one step closer to tasting some of the delicious wines from our little island with latitude!

Get the Hard to Get – (Extra) Special Tassie Vino

Tucked away in each wine-producing corner of this island are prized bottles of (extra) special, and often hard to access, vino. There is an intrinsic connection between perseverance and a reverence for tradition to be found in each of these wines. After all, good things can’t be rushed.

Each is proudly made for simple celebrations, for just about any occasion (and sometimes a good wine makes the celebration itself!). If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t need an excuse to bring out their best glassware then this, our Tasmanian wine-loving friend, is for you.

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 127 voluntary wine business members, representing 98% 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.
