Darlington Vineyard is the first stop on Tasmania’s East Coast Wine Trail, located just outside Orford near the tranquil waters of Prosser Bay. Established in the early 1990s, this boutique vineyard produces small-batch wines with a strong focus on quality over quantity. With 5,000 mature vines across four varieties—Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Sauvignon Blanc—Darlington Vineyard showcases the intensity and character that the region is known for.
The vineyard’s north-east facing slopes allow cool air to drain, helping to moderate frost while benefiting from the warmth of Tasmania’s east coast summers. The result is fruit that ripens beautifully, with picking typically taking place in April. Hand-picked and carefully tended, Darlington’s wines reflect the dedication to craftsmanship and the unique conditions of this coastal site.
The Darlington Vineyard cellar door offers a relaxed and welcoming space for tastings, where visitors can sample a selection of premium cool-climate wines. Overlooking the picturesque vineyard and just moments from the sea, it’s a peaceful setting to explore the wines and learn about the winemaking process.
Guests can expect personal service and insight into the vineyard’s history, with each tasting providing a deeper appreciation of the care taken from vine to bottle. Those looking for a casual experience can enjoy a glass of wine on-site, soaking in the beauty of Tasmania’s east coast.
