Coal River Wine Hopper

About this tour

Spend seven hours exploring Tasmania's Coal River wine region via flexible hop-on, hop-off service. Call in at seven working vineyards and estates including Riverdale, Coal Valley, and Pooley's, sampling cool-climate wines and local produce across the day. Build your own itinerary with hourly pickups and extended breaks—perfect for a leisurely lunch at a favourite cellar door. You'll see how the region bridges colonial Richmond with contemporary food culture, returning to Hobart by late afternoon.

What to expect

You'll be picked up hourly from a central point and can hop off at any of the seven vineyard destinations. Each cellar door operates independently, so you're free to linger over tastings, chat with winemakers, or grab lunch wherever appeals. The route takes in established estates and smaller producers across the valley. You'll notice the landscape shift from vineyard rows to colonial architecture as you move through Richmond. By late afternoon you're back in Hobart. Most venues require advance booking, so confirm your preferred stops before the day.

Good to know

Pre-book all cellar doors you plan to visit—some venues like Pooley's require reservations. Lunch and drinks aren't included, so budget accordingly. The vehicle is air-conditioned and fitted with wine bags for purchases. Children and infants welcome; those without a seat sit free on an adult's lap.
