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.
