We dropped in on a Monday afternoon right around noon. The host is incredibly friendly and genuine. He gave good details on the wine and even poked fun at their own wine descriptions. He said not to take them too seriously and that it didn't matter; either you like the wine or you don't. Couldn't agree more myself. Wine tastings are complimentary. They had a summer sale on their sauvignon blanc for $22.00 AUD (regularly $30.00 AUD). Pretty good but we had limited space in our bags. They also do a whisky tasting ($15.00 AUD) where they were showcasing three types of Hellyers Road Whisky. Interesting. For food, there's a black chalkboard with half a dozen options available. - 2016 vintage sparkling - 2016 sauvignon blanc - 2016 chardonnay - 2016 sweet riesling - 2016 pinot noir A bit off the beaten path but with that you get a less touristy spot. Decent wines.

5-star country service. That means personable, informative and generous. A real delight…read more Interesting selection of wines and this vineyard also showcases Lark Distillery Whiskey. Likewise, you can try the Leaning Church wines at Lark Hill if you are in Hobart. The added attraction of this place is that it's off the beaten track, set high on a hill surrounded by incredible views. They've established themselves as a location for weddings and receptions, with, you guessed it, a leaning church on site, manicured grounds and an expansive marquee to cater for your reception. They are [business] married with nearby Lilydale Larder, so any food available there, is also available here, if you order ahead. Cheese platters always available, without pre-ordering. Less crowds and a far nicer outlook here (than at the Larder). Highly recommend this place.

We hadn't even planned to check out CH but one of the other wine hosts recommended it to us. Spoiler alert: this should be in the #1 spot for Tamar Valley. We dropped in on a Monday afternoon (around 2:15pm). This is easily the most beautiful winery we've been to in Australia! The view is sublime and the space is spacious with comfy lounge chairs/couches/bean chairs and blankets. A very cozy, relaxing vibe. Wine tastings are complimentary and you can sample from their whole range. They had a mix of 5 sparkling, 4 whites and 2 reds. Yes, you can try all 11 like we did. Even if you don't think that you will like a particular wine...trust me, just do it. Our wine communicator, Ian (as he called his role), was incredibly knowledgeable and one of the best we've come across. Great pace, understanding and ability to interact with different customers. He knows his craft well. It was a one man show. He even made up a cheese platter ($30.00 AUD) fresh for a group of four. They only have cheese platters on weekdays and tapas on weekends. Didn't see a real food menu. - Clover Hill Tasmanian cuvée NV - Clover Hill blanc de blancs cuvée exceptionelle 2011 - Clover Hill vintage brut 2013 - Clover Hill Tasmanian cuvée rosé NV - Clover Hill brut rosé cuvée exceptionelle 2013 - Estate pinot gris 2017 - Estate sauvignon blanc 2016 - this was our favourite.

I don't know how but all the estate and single vineyard bottles smelt unbelievable. - Estate chardonnay 2016 - Single vineyard chardonnay 2016 - Estate pinot noir 2015 - Single vineyard pinot noir 2016 Fantastic, luscious wines, pristine views and unbelievable service. Our favourite winery out of all the ones we visited in Australia and New Zealand. A must visit for all you winos.

There were a few others around but most were finishing up with purchases. The view of the vineyards and lake (with a gazebo) is very picturesque. The restaurant seemed high end with prices to match. There's starters, mains, sides and desserts. There's also a four course "feed me" option ($75.00 AUD/person). Wine tastings are $5.00 AUD/person but fee is waived with a bottle purchase. We hit it off with the host who also happened to have lived in Canada. We sampled all 6 of their offerings. - NV Josef Chromy sparkling - 2017 Josef Chromy sauvignon blanc - 2017 Josef Chromy pinot gris - 2016 Josef Chromy chardonnay - 2016 Josef Chromy rosé - 2016 Josef Chromy pinot noir Decent wines but nothing particular stood out to us.

I found this place while researching online on lots of "best of" list and given the name we just had to try it out. I went online and decided to make a reservation for lunch-by prebooking a meat/cheese platter for noon-while not required, a good idea during weekends or other busy times. I ended up asking them to move the time back the evening prior and was surprised to get an email response at like 9 pm really quickly saying "sure, no problem." It was really nice of them and it shows the involvement of the owners/family members. We tasted quite a few wines including two sparklers (one rose), sauv blanc, Pinot Gris (fav), Riesling, Chardonnay, two pinots, and even a late harvest Riesling which the only make if conditions are right. We sat outside in the brilliant sunshine looking out to the Vineyard nibbling on the fruit, cheese and meat while one of the owners brought us the various wines. We spent around 90 minutes. It was great learning about the property and their wines and I'd buy any of the wines if available in the U.S.

We dropped in on a Monday afternoon (around 1:15pm). The inside has a spacious tasting room (with even a few stools to sit at) and a cute courtyard with bean bags. Too bad their restaurant was currently being renovated but there's a food truck outside (open from Friday to Sunday). The only food they had was a cheese box ($22.50 AUD). Wine tastings are $5.00 AUD/person but you can try whatever you'd like from the list. They only had one that we couldn't try because it was sold out. Tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle. There's Ninth Island, Pipers Brook and Kreglinger wines; a total of 15 wines. Both hosts were friendly and gave a nice description of each wine. We ended up sampling 8 wines. - NV Ninth Island sparkling - our first one turned out to be our favourite. We bought a bottle ($25.00 AUD).
