Tamar Valley
We invite you to look deeper and open a conversation as you explore Tasmania’s largest wine region amidst scenic and historic sights.
Embark on the renowned wine trail, meandering through picturesque vineyards where over 30 cellar doors beckon you to indulge in the region's finest offerings. From the east bank, celebrated for its sparkling wines, to the west bank, renowned for its exquisite pinot noir, each sip narrates a story of dedication and artistry.
Yet, extending from the City of Gastronomy, the Tamar Valley transcends mere culinary pleasures—it's a realm where nature and history seamlessly intertwine. Traverse vineyard-lined riverbanks and encounter Tassie wildlife along the way. When you reach Beauty Point, immerse yourself in two captivating attractions: Seahorse World and Platypus House, where both of these unique creatures dance and play.
Immerse yourself in the region's storied past at the Beaconsfield Mine and Heritage Centre, where the resilience of the community shines through. Come and play with the historical interactive installations and explore exhibits detailing the Beaconsfield mine collapse of 2006 and marvel at relics like the historic headframe itself.
