Visit up to 5 Wineries, with lunch and a glass of wine. And, if time permits, a Cheese tasting at one of Tasmania's most awarded fromageries.
Stel’s life has been devoted to his passionate learning and educating in the pleasures of a myriad of grape varieties. 42 years later, there’s not much that Stel doesn’t know about wine having worked for small and large wineries and mentored by some of the greats in the industry.
A presenter on Carnival Cruises P&O line, Stel’s very popular main event “How to look like a wine expert in under 1 hour” sells out in no time, along with the crowd pleasing ‘Wine & Gourmet Chocolate Pairing’ and ‘Master Classes’ for passengers wanting a more in depth experience. And, for those wanting a more memorable occasion, a dinner for 12 at the Captain’s Table with Stel as Sommelier never disappointed…”I learnt so much and had a ball, what a great experience” / “I feel like I know more about what to look for now.” / “ I love the fact that I can now Fool my friends”

There are 4 distinct wine regions in close proximity to Hobart, and over 100 sub-regions with some unique aspects of terroir. To understanding the scope and variety of Sth East Tasmania’s wines we have broken down our tours into 4 areas – Your guided tour may cover 1 or more regions in the one day. The wineries/vineyards visited each day will vary due to the vagaries of living “on” and “off” the land. Each day’s itinerary is up to the people we visit who own and work the land. Emergency netting, Seasonal duties, pump failures, weather conditions, etc all play a part in our schedule. We will know our day’s adventure 24 hours before departure.
Coal River Valley and surrounds: Deep, rich soils, black cracking clay above rich limestone veins and an abundance of water - an ideal place to grow grapes and make wine. Derwent River Valley and surounds - the influence of the Derwent and Limestone.
Huon Valley and the Channel Area - Colder; later ripening.
