The acclaimed Tamar Valley wine route is said to be the oldest wine region in Tasmania and produces around 40% of all grapes grown in the state, with many of our wines attracting worldwide attention. The Tamar Valley is the ideal cool climate wine growing area, focused on producing wines of exceptional quality that are both elegant and pristine, reflective of our pure soil and crisp clean air. The mild spring and summer temperatures, warm autumn days and cool nights allow the grapes to ripen slowly on the vines, promoting maximum varietal flavour development, whilst maintaining the natural acidity that assists in freshness and balance. As you tour the wine route not only will you experience a number of great wineries, all very individual and unique in nature, but you will also be privy to some spectacular scenery along the way.
Don't hesitate...if you are seeking a change of lifestyle and the joy of meeting new people every day, this is a property you must see. Viewing is essential to appreciate all that it has to offer.
