What a DriveToArrive Winery Tour Includes

A private winery tour with DriveToArrive is a departure from the ordinary. It's an immersive, curated experience, designed from the ground up to match your unique tastes and desired pace. Forget crowded buses and rigid schedules; this is your day, shaped by you, and executed with flawless precision by our team.

From our first conversation, our concierge, Donna, works to understand your preferences. Are you a devotee of Tasmanian Pinot Noir, a lover of crisp sparkling wines, or eager to explore emerging varietals? We use this insight to craft a personalised itinerary that might take you through the acclaimed vineyards of the Coal River Valley, just a short, scenic drive from Hobart, or venture further into the boutique, artisanal cellars of the Huon Valley and D'Entrecasteaux Channel. We can secure reservations at sought-after cellar doors and book a table at one of the region's top vineyard restaurants, such as The Pipers Brook Vineyard Restaurant or the restaurant at Frogmore Creek. Your chauffeur manages all logistics on the day, allowing you and your guests to simply relax and indulge.

Exploring Hobart and Tasmania's Wine Regions

Hobart is the perfect gateway to some of Australia's most celebrated cool-climate wine country. Each region offers a distinct terroir and a unique charm, all within easy reach with a private chauffeur.

The Coal River Valley: Just 20 minutes from Hobart, this is Tasmania's premier wine destination. It's a sun-drenched valley, protected by surrounding hills, creating a microclimate perfect for producing world-class Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling. Beyond the vines, the valley is home to the beautifully preserved Georgian village of Richmond, with its famous bridge and gaol. A DriveToArrive tour can effortlessly combine tastings at renowned vineyards like Pooley Wines, Puddleduck Vineyard, and Frogmore Creek with a visit to this historic town.

The Huon Valley & D'Entrecasteaux Channel: A drive south of Hobart takes you into the lush, rolling hills of the Huon Valley, traditionally Tasmania's apple-growing heartland. Today, it is also home to a vibrant community of boutique winemakers creating exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines. The scenic drive along the D'Entrecasteaux Channel is an experience in itself. We can arrange visits to acclaimed producers such as Home Hill Winery and Kate Hill Wines, perhaps paired with fresh oysters from a local farm.

Our service extends beyond just wine. Combine your tour with a visit to the iconic MONA (Museum of Old and New Art), a scenic drive up kunanyi / Mount Wellington for panoramic views, or a delectable meal at one of Hobart's waterfront restaurants in Salamanca Place. We can facilitate a transfer directly from your cruise ship at the Port of Hobart or begin your tour the moment you step off your flight at HBA. For authoritative information on the region, we recommend visiting the official Discover Tasmania website.
