| Trip Name | TASMANIA – The Coolest Wine region on the planet |
| Host | Wine Tasmania |
| Date | 19 – 22 April 2027 |
| Capacity | Min 10 – Max 20 |
When visiting Tasmania, you visit Australia's 'coolest' wine region.
This program has been created to share some exceptional wine with you, a few secrets, a few stories and also showcase some of Tasmania's other highlights – our incredible wildlife, our food scene and a museum like none other on the planet. Yes, that's all here in this little island on the edge of the world.
Wine Tasmania will introduce you to what makes Tasmanian wine so sought after, domestically and increasingly internationally. Our cool climate, wines – heavily influenced from maritime winds, a variety of geological and soil factors and a longer, slower growing season helps create some of the best sparkling wine in the world, along with the much loved Chardonnay, Riesling and Pinot Noir (to name but a few).
Tassie is different, we might be small, but we’re big on the inside and love sharing our produce, wine and stories with friends.
This remote island on the edge of the world is where rocky outcrops and windy hilltops challenge the hardiest of vine roots and the most committed of grape growers. The terroir in Tassie makes for diverse and distinctive wines and our wine makers bring a depth of character that is also so excellently reflected in what they create.
