Wine South announces dates for the 2023 Spring in the Vines Festival
Touring festival weekend: 3-5 November 2023
One of Tasmania’s premier wine events, Spring in the Vines, is just around the corner.
The three-day Spring in the Vines Festival began in 2020 to showcase Southern Tasmania’s exceptional cool climate wines and scenic vineyards.
From November 3-5, vineyards and wineries in the Huon, Coal River and Derwent Valleys, the Tasman Peninsula and Channel region will open their tasting rooms to the public, allowing wine lovers to chat directly with producers.
With more than 5000 visitors anticipated for the 2023 event, the festival provides a significant economic boost to the southern wine region.
“Spring in the Vines is a unique and inclusive festival, bringing together vineyards, wineries, winemakers, and negociants, to showcase southern Tasmania as a premium wine destination,” says Nathalie Urbain from Wine South, which is the producer collective that organises the annual festival.
Wine South president Mark McNamara says Spring in the Vines is “an event not to be missed by all Tasmanians and visitors to our beautiful state, showcasing the season’s newly released wines”.
“Visitors will have access to a wide range of producers across southern Tassie, including many that rarely open their door to the public,” Mark says.
The spring festival is the perfect introduction to producers’ new release rosés, rieslings, gris, and sparkling wines.
Enjoy everything that spring has to offer with new release wines and rare back vintages, incredible local produce, and live music.
“Spring in the Vines is the perfect chance to emerge from your winter hibernation with friends and family and experience everything that is unique about southern Tasmanian wine, our vineyards and producers, and take home some the best of the new season wines,” Mark says.
Details about participating producers can be found at www.winesouth.com.au and further updates will be posted closer to the date.
