Puddleduck Vineyard
A boutique Winery and Cellar Door in the Coal River Valley
Puddleduck Vineyard is a family-owned and operated winery in Tasmania's Coal River Valley, known for its hands-on approach to winemaking. Established in 1997 by Darren and Jackie Brown, the vineyard has grown into a beloved boutique producer, crafting wines entirely from estate-grown fruit. Every grape is hand-harvested, pruned, and even hand-labelled to ensure quality and character in every bottle.
With a strong focus on sustainability and a welcoming atmosphere, Puddleduck produces small-batch cool-climate wines, including Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc. Visitors can explore the vineyard through tastings, guided tours, and unique experiences that showcase the estate’s dedication to quality winemaking.
Wine tastings at Puddleduck Vineyard are a relaxed and engaging experience, with a variety of options to suit all visitors. Guests can opt for a quick bar tasting, a seated tasting paddle, or a premium tasting in the indoor tasting room overlooking the duck pond and vineyard. A selection of local cheeses is available to complement the wines, making for an enjoyable and immersive experience.
The vineyard's welcoming atmosphere extends beyond the tasting room, with outdoor spaces where guests can bring their own picnic as part of the unique "Reverse BYO®" concept.
