Media Release – Wine South Tasmania, 3 Oct 2024, Hobart, Tasmania
Ultimate Wine Trip – Spring In the Vines presented by Wine South Tasmania
Getaway for the ultimate Tasmanian wine trip – a long weekend of wine discovery during Spring In the Vines. Stay in deluxe Hobart hotels and spend your days touring the surrounding wine subregions – Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley, Huon Valley & d’Entrecasteaux Channel, and Hobart & the South East.
Spring in the Vines is presented by Wine South Tasmania – a group of 37 wine producers from the region. They have teamed up with top Hobart hotels and local wine tour guides to put on an unmissable weekend of wine touring of the southern wine trail for Tasmania’s newest wine festival.
Tasmania has quickly become Australia’s most premium wine region, with its unspoilt environment and cool climate perfect for Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sparkling, and Riesling. But with lots of small, sustainable, and family producers still unknown on the mainland, there are so many more to explore.
Plan the ultimate wine trip in November, which you can drive or join a chauffeured wine tour to visit the gamut from world famous producers with slick cellar door experiences, to boutique wineries making just 100-dozen off the beaten track.
