Tamar Valley trip planner

A tour of Tamar Valley, Tasmania's prime wine region, reveals a landscape of rolling green hills blanketed with woods, orchards, and more than 30 vineyards connected by a popular touring route. If you come for the wine, stick to the big-name vineyards you'll find on the eastern bank of the river. The more attractive western bank is dotted with charming towns packed with Tudor houses, shaded avenues, and manicured gardens. Dubbed "the Heart of Tasmania," Launceston draws tourists with its late colonial architecture, vibrant street life, and a cosmopolitan atmosphere. An important shipping and trade hub, Launceston also serves as a good base for nature and wildlife excursions into the surrounding area.
