We have some fantastic tour operators that are available to take you on wine tours and ensure that you are delivered safely to your accomodation at the end of the day. Check out our recommended businesses section for some of these operators.

However if tours aren’t your bag, independent touring with your own vehicle really allows you to explore our amazing region.

We know and love our map and website but recognise that some people just love apps so to allow people to get the best out of their experience.

WHAT TAMAR TRAILS ARE ON THE GOURMAKERS APP?

We’ve partnered with Gourmakers to develop four unique trails which capture the best offerings across the Tamar Valley.

EAST TAMAR VALLEY wine ROUTE

Welcome to Sparkling Wine Country! The East Tamar & Pipers Brook region features some of the most scenic driving whilst also tapping into some truly exquisite sparkling wines.  With both well-known names and smaller producers this trail is a good opportunity to taste test Tassie sparkling for yourself.

 Beyond wineries this trail also takes you to Scottsdale where you can see the hops growing for Little Rivers Brewery and Bridport, a lovely seaside town, and take in the magical coastline.

NORTH-WEST TAMAR WINE ROUTE

Just 40 mins from Launceston, follow the northern length of the western Tamar to discover unfolding vistas of countryside and sparkling river views. From rustic small family-owned cellar doors to well-known wine brands this trail has a something to suit everyone.

SOUTH-WEST TAMAR WINE ROUTE

A short hop from Launceston brings you into the start of the Tamar Valley Wine growing area, sparkling river views unfold with vines clinging to the hillside. This is truly one of the Tamar’s most iconic drives. The stunning wines match the scenery.

TAMAR BREWERY & DISTILLERY ROUTE

Taking in the length of the valley – this trail is perfect for people who want to discover more than just wine. Some of Tasmania’s award winning spirit producers & breweries can be found across the region.
