A Festival Like No Other
Unlike traditional wine festivals, Southern Open Vineyards features world-famous producers alongside wineries unknown outside of Tasmania. Wander through the vineyards, chat with winemakers, and taste wines where they are created. From hidden boutique gems to award-winning estates, this event is your chance to uncover the secrets of Tasmania’s wine story.
What Makes It Unique?
Open Vineyard Access: Meet winemakers on the land, with behind-the-scenes tours, barrel tastings, and exclusive cellar door releases.
New Vintage Previews: Be among the first to taste the 2024 vintage Pinot Noir releases and other summer released Sparkling wine, Chardonnay, Riesling, Cabernet, and even Fortified wines.
Diverse Experiences: Enjoy everything from long-table vineyard lunches to guided tastings, live music, unique workshops, and artisanal food pairings.
The Perfect Escape
From your base in Hobart, you’ll be nestled in one of the world’s most pristine wine regions. But Tasmania’s southern vineyards offer more than just great wine.
