Day 2: Tamar Valley Wine Region.

• With over 40 wineries in the Tamar Valley Wine Region you could spend weeks exploring them all – stop at well known cellar doors such as Josef Chromy Wines or Jansz Tasmania or opt for the lesser known gems such as  Swinging Gate, Winterbrook, Iron Pot Bay, and Moores Hill.

• The Tamar Valley Wine Centre at Exeter is a good option to taste a range of local wines and great food. 

• With so many wineries to visit (and so much wine to drink!) this region is best experienced on a guided tour with Luxury Golf and Scenic Tours.
