Hop on Hop Off Wine Tour From Hobart

Escape to the wineries with a full-day hop-on, hop-off wine adventure through Tasmania’s celebrated Coal River Valley. Visit up to seven iconic destinations—including Riversdale Estate, Coal Valley Vineyard, and Pooley’s Vineyard—each offering a taste of the region’s world-class cool-climate wines and local produce.

With hourly pickups and a flexible schedule, you’re free to linger where the wine flows and the views inspire. Enjoy extended stops, like a leisurely two-hour lunch at your favorite venue, and dive into Tasmania’s rich colonial history in the charming town of Richmond.

No need to worry about logistics—just relax in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle and let your local guide lead the way. You’ll return to Hobart by late afternoon, refreshed and full of stories, flavors, and unforgettable moments.

The Coal River Valley is one of Tasmania’s premier wine regions, located about 25 minutes northeast of Hobart. It’s known for producing excellent cool-climate wines, particularly Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling.

The region benefits from its proximity to Hobart while maintaining the cool climate conditions ideal for premium wine production. Many of these wineries offer cellar door experiences, tastings, and some have restaurants or accommodation.
