Fuller description:
Completely relax as you taste over 30 "adult" drinks, driven in safety and comfort through beautiful Tasmanian countryside taking in both the Derwent and Coal Valleys, New Norfolk and Richmond.
It's an easy-going tasting tour yet also sophisticated, with something for everyone, and designed to be balanced, unhurried, stimulating, informative and lots of fun. By the end of the tour, you will be "happy" and feeling great, but not overly - hydration throughout the day of course.
A highlight of the day, beyond just the drinks, are the people we meet along the way: The Owners, the Makers, passionate locals, real Taswegians - you will have many enjoyable encounters.
New Norfolk, Richmond, the Derwent River and beautiful countryside we pass through all bubble up to give visitors and locals alike a real sense of place, history and stewardship - good things come from good places via good people. You can taste that on this tour as well.
We start with a coffee and a stroll in New Norfolk on our way to New Norfolk Distillery. This is Tasmania's only dedicated Rum Distillery, with the Rum, Gin and other "Rebellious Spirits" sure to get the party in your mouth started.
Diversity, blending and mixing, neat or sweet - your preferences and drinks knowledge will be challenged and expanded right off the bat.
We then travel a little further up the (Derwent) Valley, following the (Derwent) River, veer off the sealed road just past the beehives, onto a Farm, and arrive at the marvelous Two Metre Tall Farmhouse Ale & Cider. Recently voted as one of the top five unique experiences all alcohol connoisseurs should add to their Tasmanian itinerary, we enjoy in a wonderful setting some truly authentic, non-conforming, wild fermented, barrel aged ales and ciders with nothing but grains, fruit, water and time added. Delicious, fun and educational.
Our next visit is either Viridian Winery or Pressing Matters Winery for exemplary cool climate wines that showcase the complexity and delicateness of Tasmanian Wines. Sparkling, Whites, Reds and Dessert Wines with a lovely Vineyard platter light lunch to accompany the Wines you will be enjoying at just the right time of day. These are guided tastings, always delicious, always interesting and always in a beautiful and welcoming setting that you will thoroughly enjoy.
Crossing over the river, our next venue is Charles Reuben Estate on the doorstep of the Coal Valley. Talk about a busy Family enterprise. We meet the owners in the shed where all of the distilling, stomping and bottling takes place, as close to the source of drink making as you can get. There are some lovely surprises here, a wonderful place to get curious and enjoy a completely unpretentious tasting experience.
Richmond is a gorgeous little village brimming with ye old world charm, and a slow drive up and down the main street, across Australia's oldest functioning bridge with some choice words is the right thing to do. We then drive through the scenic Coal Valley for one final tasting at Last Rites Brewing Co before our AMAZING TASTING TOUR cometh to an end.
It has been a great day most worthy to include in any holiday or even for locals to explore their own backyard with a designated driver.
We bid farewell from where we picked you up, or wherever you would like to be dropped off. There are many genuinely excellent venues to visit, and unfortunately, we cannot visit all of them. Below is a list of our favourite ones. We can change the itinerary and visits for group bookings - especially on days other than our sitting tours (Friday's and Saturday's)

A little bit more helpful information.
This full day tour is best shared with your partner or a small group of friends, but single travelers and explorers are also very welcome (as long as minimum numbers are met for the selected day)
Each tasting represents science, passion, risk and is accompanied with story, spread along a beautiful stretch of the Derwent River and through the Coal Valley. As warming and inviting as the tastings are, the emphasis of this tour is perhaps even more so on the environment and the sum of the parts, rather than just on the end product you will be tasting, smelling, savouring.
The land, the changing seasons, the river, the effort and the results all add up to a wonderful day that is as delicious as it is relaxing.
Inclusions Generous tastings at a minimum of four venues, led by venue Owners, the Makers or their friendly and knowledgeable staff. An abundance of quality information and authenticity. Transport in our spacious Renault Master Bus with climate control, large windows, reclining seats. Bottle purchases on the day to take home, or freight forwarding arranged. Guiding that is matched to the group with the right amount of story and local information. Optional mid-morning coffee Cheese platter for a light lunch, including local Tasmanian soft and hard cheese, bread and olives Exclusions Tour includes everything you need for the day, except of course bottle purchases.
This is a 7-8 hour fully guided tour with numerous expenses included, dispersed amongst many small businesses supporting local families and their employees.
