Coal River Wine Hopper

56 Reviews

7 hours

Overview

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.

Free cancellation

For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time.

Why backpackers love it

It takes the hassle out of organising a wine day from Hobart without forcing you into a rigid group itinerary. The hop-on, hop-off setup gives you more control over your budget and how much tasting you actually want to do, and the late afternoon return keeps it manageable as a day trip. It’s also a good option if you want a mix of wineries, food stops and a bit of Richmond’s colonial character in one outing.

What to expect

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.
