REGION: Launceston and Tamar Valley

pipers-brook-vineyard-landscape.jpg

Launceston and its river valley blend history, scenery, creativity, adventure, entertainment and the superb flavours of fine food and wine. Launceston is a city of elegant architecture and award-winning restaurants, while the lush Tamar Valley is Tasmania’s premier wine-growing region.

The northern section of the Tasmanian Wine Route follows the banks of the Tamar River and heads into the nearby hills of the Pipers Brook area. The region’s superb sauvignon blancs and chardonnays can be sipped in stunning riverside locations, beautiful gardens or alongside award-winning architecture.

The Festival of the Senses, held in February and March each year, celebrates gourmet food and cool climate wine with events in Launceston and the Tamar Valley.
