Coal River Wine Hopper

This is a flexible wine touring day from Hobart through the Coal River Valley, with stops at several well-known wineries and Richmond. Rather than being locked into one venue, you can hop on and off through the day and shape it around the cellar doors and tasting stops that interest you most. It suits travellers who want an easy winery day without driving, while still having some freedom over how long they spend at each stop. Carry-on wine bags are included, and you’re back in Hobart by late afternoon.

The day visits up to seven stops, including places such as Riverdale Estate, Coal Valley Vineyard and Pooley’s Vineyard, along with time in historic Richmond. Pickups run hourly, so you can move between venues with some flexibility rather than following one fixed tasting schedule. There is also scope for longer breaks, including around two hours for lunch at a venue you choose. One key thing to know: some cellar doors require advance bookings, including Pooley’s, so it’s worth planning your tastings before the day starts.
