Local Vineyards
The East Coast of Tasmania is home
to some of the states best wines. While vineyards are generally
small, quality remains high. Freycinet Vineyard is considered
by some commentators to supply the states' most consistent
and exciting Pinot Noir.
The East coast offers a higher Growing
Degree Days (GDD) index than other viticultural areas of the
state although careful site selection is an important factor
for success.
Combined with fresh seafood, white
sandy beaches and a warmer year round climate than most of
Tasmania, the East Coast lifestyle is perfectly suited to
enjoying the wine tourism experience.
