Description
Departing from Hobart, indulge in a day of wine, cheese, chocolate and history on this private day tour. Enjoy a gourmet lunch at Frogmore Creek Winery, a walk through Richmond and much more!
Departing Hobart, this private day tour offers something for everyone. Start by visiting and driving across the Tasman Bridge and park beneath to learn about the Lake Illawarra collision and bridge collapse. From here, you will be captivated by the breathtaking views overlooking the Derwent River.
Our next visit is the historic Kangaroo Bluff Battery site. While the Kangaroo Bluff Battery was originally developed in the late 1800s to prevent enemy vessels from posing a threat to Hobart, it now makes the perfect picnic location with views over the River Derwent, Kunanyi/Mount Wellington and Nipaluna/Hobart. After exploring the Kangaroo Bluff Battery and learning about Tasmania's early wartime history, we will visit various wineries and venues in the Coal River Valley. Including Every Man and His Dog Vineyard, Frogmore Creek Restaurant, Wicked Cheese, Richmond Village, and Nocton Vineyard. These venues offer wine, chocolate and cheese tastings for you to indulge in. Additionally, you can take pleasure in exploring the beautiful gardens surrounding these Tasmanian wineries.
For lunchtime, we have arranged a gourmet two-course winery lunch at Frogmore Creek Winery, where you can also enjoy more wine tastings.
After lunch, we'll visit Richmond Historic Village. The town is home to Australia's oldest bridge, recently celebrating its 200th anniversary. We'll have time to wander the streets of this historic town and walk/drive over the famous Richmond Bridge.
Along our route are several roadside stalls selling local fruits and preserves - a great opportunity to purchase something special to bring home as a souvenir.
