Step into Tasmania’s colonial past and its celebrated wine country on this enriching half-day journey. Begin with a scenic, narrated drive through Hobart, where stories of convicts, settlers, and sailors emerge against a backdrop of heritage sandstone buildings and river views. Venture into the countryside to visit Richmond, one of Australia’s best-preserved Georgian villages. Once a military staging post, this charming township invites you to stroll its cobbled lanes, browse quaint boutiques, or photograph its famed convict-built stone bridge. Enjoy morning tea at a charming bakery and spend some free time exploring Richmond's antique shops or simply soak in the 19th-century atmosphere. Continue to Puddleduck Vineyard (or similar) , a family-run winery set among the rolling hills of the Coal River Valley. Here, sample cool-climate Tasmanian wines in a tranquil lakeside setting, and learn about the winemaking process directly from the passionate team. Finally, explore Runnymede House, a refined 19th-century estate that once belonged to a whaling captain. Your guided visit reveals stories of colonial life and Tasmania’s maritime heritage.
