- Richmond -
Richmond is one of Tasmania’s earliest settled towns and features some incredibly beautiful early colonial architecture like the Richmond Bridge (1823). A visit to the gaol built in 1825 is also a must. its most infamous prisoner inspired the famous author charles Dickens to create the character Fagan in Oliver Twist.

Wander through the beautiful historic street scape which offers an array of artisan shops, antique stores and delicious produce. The Richmond Arms is a great place to sample local beverages and absorb the tranquility of the township.

- Pooley Wines -
The vineyard is run by the third generation of the Pooley family who are dedicated to producing wines of outstanding quality. They offer wines from two of their Coal Valley vineyards to give guests the opportunity to distinguish the taste difference through soil change. 

The cellar door is rustic, one of grandeur and housed within the historic estate at Richmond. Our tour takes you on a very personal tasting of award winning wines and you can be assured of a great experience. 

- Riversdale Estate -
Owned by sixth generation farmers, Riversdale Estate features a gentle undulating vista of sheltered bays and farm lands. The estate location and soil type provides an excellent environment to produce outstanding quality wines. It also boasts a beautifully furnished french bistro and high tea rooms plus a quirky Peter Rabbit garden for the kids. It all adds up to a truly peaceful and unique experience in one of Tasmania's award winning vineyards.

Solid walking shoes for bush walks - they are relatively easy walks rather than hikes.
