Derwent River
Situated around Hobart, the Derwent Valley stretches north west from the capital, following the river. It is similar in climate and topography to the Coal River Valley, which lies just over the hills of the Meehan Ranges to the east.
Coal River
Stretching north and slightly east of Hobart is the Coal River Valley. Centred around the picturesque township of Richmond, the Coal River Valley is home to some of Tasmania's most prestigious wineries.
East Coast
As the name suggests, the East Coast region runs along the east coast of Tasmania, from St Helens in the north, down to Port Arthur in the south, and to the east of Sorell.
Tamar Valley
From the city of Launceston in Tasmania's north, the Tamar River winds it way to the coast, eventually spilling into the Bass Strait. The river neatly bisects the Tamar Valley wine region which is planted all the way along, from Launceston to the coast.
Langhorne Creek
Inland from the Southern Fleurieu Peninsula, and only 70kms from Adelaide, you’ll find the Langhorne Creek wine region. It sits between the Adelaide Hills to the west, and Lake Alexandrina to the east – a large body of water that has a major influence on the climatic conditions of the region.
Clare Valley
Like so many wine regions in South Australia, the Clare Valley is one of the oldest in the country. It sits nestled in the northern end of the Mount Lofty Ranges, about 120 kms due north of Adelaide. Interestingly, the Clare Valley sits by itself, unconnected to any other GI Zones or regions.
