My Guide to Launceston
Vineyards
-
Clover Hill Wines
60 Clover Hill Rd, Lebrina
For a taste of luxury, Clover Hill is a must. Their cellar door and specialty food offerings (available on select days) are incredible. I would recommend this as an adults-only experience.
-
Delamere Vineyard
4238 Bridport Rd, Pipers Brook
Delamere is one of my favourite vineyards and I love heading there with my family. Their grounds are huge and they have an awesome open pantry stocked with local produce for making delicious platters. My favourite drop is the Sparking Rosé, it’s seriously good!
-
Josef Chromy Wines
370 Relbia Rd, Relbia
Just 10 minutes from the Launceston CBD and airport, you will find the amazing Josef Chromy Wines. They offer a full lunch (the food is next level!) or you can take a seat at the cellar door to enjoy a flight of fine wine and the stunning lakeside views. When short on time, I love sitting outdoors and enjoying a few glasses with a cheese platter.
-
Loira Vines
3191 West Tamar Hwy, Loira
This boutique vineyard may be small, but its platters are a local favourite for a reason – in fact, I think they are the best in the valley! Pair with a glass of wine for an excellent tasting experience.
-
Moore’s Hill
3343 West Tamar Hwy, Sidmouth
Make sure you swing by Moore’s Hill. Their platters are crazy good and I’m a big fan of their wines, especially the Riesling – trust me, it’s not to be missed!
-
Swinging Gate Vineyard
103 Glendale Rd, Sidmouth
Swinging Gate is really cool, with charming hand-drawn bottles and an eclectic cellar door for a quirky touch (in the best way possible). My picks? The Pét Nat and Pinot.
-
Tamar Ridge
1A Waldhorn Dr, Rosevears
Tamar Ridge is the perfect spot for enjoying a glass of wine on the deck, while the kids keep entertained with hula hoops, balls and more. If you’re feeling snacky, why not try one of their delish cheese platters?
