Wine and views what a great way to spend a day

Such a great day out with Peter, we were fortunate to have the tour to ourselves. We went to some beautiful wineries. The best by far was Nocton, attentive and so fun was the beautiful human that looked after us there. So great to have a break from the wines with time in Richmond, such a beautiful quaint town. Then another tasting before heading back to Hobart stopping for a great photo opportunity on the way back. Would definitely recommend this tour to anyone without a car who loves wine and gorgeous old towns.

What a great way to experience Hobart's food & wine region.

What a great way to experience Hobart's food & wine region. Peter is a fantastic guide who has built strong relationships with the owners/managers of these boutique locations & was very knowledgeable about the area. We got to visit a four different wineries with generous tastings, a cheese factory, had a lovely pizza for lunch. We even had time for a one hour stop with free time to explore the town of Richmond & a bonus stop at a lookout with an amazing view of Hobart. Highly recommend.
