LIKE A LOCAL
One of the world’s premium cool climate wine regions, the Tamar Valley is home to more than 30 vineyards and wineries. The Valley is known to have some of the best bubbly in the business. Wineries snuggle side by side with picturesque orchards, forest and fertile pastures. Our famous kanamaluka/ Tamar River defines the heart of our Valley.
Notley Fern Gorge is a remnant patch of rainforest hidden away for you to uncover via a weaving track that winds over creeks and amongst giant eucalypti. Lilydale Falls offers two impressive cascades connected by fern-framed steps that won’t take too long to climb.
Gnarley mountain bike trails at George Town and Derby will get your heart racing and head planning more trips.
