Stop At: Pooley Wines, 1431 Richmond Rd Belmont Vineyard, Richmond, Clarence, Tasmania 7025 Australia

Belmont House Tasting Room. The Pooley family is Tasmania’s only 3rd generation family wine business, consistently winning major awards and trophies for their entire range, with their tasting room being located on the hill where all the stone for Richmond was quarried from, and I personally had a hand in planting some of the current Butchers Hill Vineyard. Their Margaret Pooley Tribute Riesling is a standout of the Estate. Up to 4 wines tasted.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Frogmore Creek Cellar Door & Restaurant, 699 Richmond Rd, Cambridge TAS 7170, Australia

This estate occupies a standout location on one of the most bucolic wine drives in Australia, and house’s the famous Wendover Bottles of Sparkling. Literally Tasmanian history preserved inside glass containers. The floor gives a complex look at the history of Tasmanian wine in general. They also produce some pretty good wine, the Estate Shiraz being a sleeping giant. Up to 4 wines tasted.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Coal River Farm, 634 Richmond Rd, Cambridge, Clarence, Tasmania 7170 Australia

The literal interpretation of paddock to plate in action where you can pick your own fruit (payable by you-guest on weight) and you can get up close with some farm animals if you’re not afraid. We sit down for a cheese and chocolate tasting, where the process of cheese production gets explained for you. Up to 3-4 cheeses + chocolates tasted.
