DESCRIPTION
Hobart’s not just a pretty face – it’s a city full of
history, charm, and local flavour! If you’re on a cruise and want to dive into
Tassie’s culture, history, and top-notch wine, our Hobart City & Coal River
Valley Shore Excursion is exactly what you’re after. Let’s go explore Hobart,
sip some wine, taste wicked cheese, and maybe even grab a cheeky photo with
your cruise ship in the background!
Tour Highlights
Historic Hobart City Tour
We kick things off with a guided tour of Hobart, uncovering over 40 iconic
spots in our charming capital. From hidden gems to landmark sights, you’ll see
it all – all with a local’s insight.
Coal River Valley Wine Region
Next, we’ll cross the Tasman Bridge and head into Tasmania’s famed Coal River
Valley – where the wine flows as freely as the conversation! This place is home
to some of Tassie’s best wine.
Puddleduck Vineyard
Your first stop is Puddleduck Vineyard, a family-run gem where you’ll get to
taste their delicious wines and enjoy a lunch that’ll make your taste buds
dance. Cheers to that!
Wicked Cheese Co.
No wine tour is complete without a little cheese, right? At Wicked Cheese Co.,
you’ll sample some of Tasmania’s award-winning cheeses – it’s like a cheese
lover’s dream come true.
Explore Richmond
Time to stretch those legs in the historic town of Richmond, famous for:
- Convict-built
Georgian architecture - Australia’s
oldest bridge still in use (seriously, it’s old!) - Quaint
shops, cafes, and galleries to browse at your leisure.
More Local Flavours
We’ve got one more stop at a carefully selected local cellar door for another
round of tastings. Let’s raise a glass to Tasmania’s unique wine varietals.
Scenic Photo Opportunity
Before we head back to the cruise terminal, we’ll swing by Rosny Point Lookout.
It’s the perfect spot to snap a photo with your cruise ship, Hobart city, the
Derwent River, and the mighty Mount Wellington all in one shot. Instagram, here
we come!
