The Best Wineries on Tasmania’s East Coast

Tasmania’s East Coast Wine Trail

The East Coast of Tasmania is one of the island’s most picturesque wine regions, stretching from Orford through Bicheno and Freycinet, all the way to the north-east tip of Tasmania. With stunning coastal scenery and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, it’s the perfect place to enjoy cool-climate wines at some of the best wineries in Tasmania.

Many wineries along the East Coast specialise in Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines, thriving in the region’s mild maritime climate. Cellar doors here often have spectacular vineyard and ocean views, offering a relaxed and intimate tasting experience.

Freycinet is one of the standout wine-growing areas in this region. Freycinet wineries are set against breathtaking backdrops like Wineglass Bay and the Freycinet Peninsula, making for an unforgettable wine tour. Just north, wineries near Bicheno showcase a mix of coastal vineyards and small-scale producers, focusing on high-quality wines with a hands-on, artisanal approach.

If you’re looking to pair your wine tasting with great food, many cellar doors offer gourmet platters or vineyard dining. To find the best options, explore the top winery lunch spots on the East Coast, where you can enjoy Tasmanian seafood, artisan cheeses, and seasonal produce alongside award-winning wines.

Beyond wine, the East Coast offers plenty of opportunities for exploration. Many visitors start their journey in Hobart, making their way north with stops at Freycinet National Park, the Bay of Fires, and Maria Island, combining world-class wine with some of Tasmania’s most stunning landscapes.
