A lovely little Vineyard and a big welcome. The wines were a delight and we left with enough wine for the rest of our visit to Tassie - delicious!

Relax in the beautiful surroundings and enjoy a wine with cheese board, gourmet vineyard plate or chocolate and wine experience. Craigie Knowe is the perfect place for a warm, welcoming experience where you will taste our lovely wines in the original old winery and be comfortable to ask any questions. Vineyard tours also available - please see website for details. Craigie Knowe is the oldest vineyard on the east coast of Tasmania and produces beautiful cool climate wines; Cabernet Sauvignon, a bold Pinot Noir and Riesling, and from our other younger vineyard, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. When things allow, come in and let us look after you.

If you haven't heard of Craigieknowe it's probably because it's a little bit off the main road. But that's no reason to pass it by. In fact if you do you have missed out on a great experience. Glenn the owner is full of information and enthusiasm about his vineyard and wines which makes the vidit all the more enjoyable. We were a group of 12 and he catered for us really well (11 bottles of white and 2 reds!) while serving a constant stream of customers. We coupled the wine with their gourmet platters which featured cheese, meats and smoked salmon and various pastes and jams all local produce. Don't miss this East Coast secret (if in fact it is a secret).

An award winning craft distillery situated on the pristine East Coast of Tasmania. We produce Single Malt Whisky and Gin
Reviewed By stevemH2301IP - Hobart, Australia
We called in even though when we looked up address on Google it said they were closed. So glad we did as the distillery was open. We were shown around the craft distillery by Cam, the Distiller. His knowledge in the Craft is immense, and the tastes of his gins, and of his whiskey is WONDEROUS. The gin has a juniper and citrus taste and they make a pink gin by adding raspberry. Beautiful taste. Now, the three single malt whiskeys, rum casked, port casked, or sherry casked, are each worthy of Gold and Silver Medals. They are each wonderful to taste. The Spring Bay Distillery is a bit of a secret, but well worth the effort. We came away with a great whiskey, and a gin, for the Summer.

The Farm Shed, Bicheno. Just north of Wineglass Bay (Freycinet Peninsula), the small seaside town of Bicheno is mostly known for attractions such as: the blowhole, penguins and gorgeous orange lichen- covered rocks. Popping into the post-office was when I stumbled across the town’s hidden gem: ‘The Farm Shed’. AKA the ‘East Coast Wine Centre’, The Farm Shed is an ambient wooden building that offers delicious wine, gin, beer, cider and whiskey tastings (all sourced from local/regional vineyards). In addition, this unique hub showcases a range of tastefully hand-picked Tassie art and design products. I sat down to a platter of warm olives, mixed nuts and local snacks (all complimentary). During my ‘tasting’ session that afternoon, I got to meet the fun, passionate gals behind the business. Subi and Helen really know: their products, the history of the area and also (I was chuffed to find) , have direct contact with the families and East-Coast businesses who produce the wares available. As I left with a smile on my face (and a selection of vino for my adventures), I noted the tables on either side of me were placing large orders – to be delivered to their respective and far flung homes. All in all, a brilliant set-up, delightful owners and a local business definitely worth supporting. One of my highlights of Tassie. Cheers!

The wine cellar may be more than 100 years old but the wines are definitely modern. We love pinot but it is hard to find a good one at a reasonable price . The pinots here are pricey but well worth the cost. There are several wine tasting options at different prices but the money is refunded if you buy. As well as the excellent pinots I really liked the riesling. I am a riesling fan from way back. A pleasant and knowledgable host made the experience very enjoyable.

We had a fantastic lunch at Mel’s Kitchen, at Springvale. The scallops, squid, pork ribs and hazelnut gateau were all outstanding. A nice 2018 Springvale Sauvignon Blanc to go with it, and a bottle of summer cup gin to take home. Highly recommended, but book as it is very busy.

Always like stopping here. After getting a very good coffee (best I had in Tassie), next it was time for some excellent oysters and mussels from "The Fishers" (from Freycinet Marine Farm) with a glass of wine from the Devil's Corner people. After this it was time for some delectable wood fired pizzas, again from the cafe. Unfortunately there wasn't any room left for ice cream! The wine tasting is very good too.

This stunning little vineyard offers a lot. Our host really made out wine tasting experience fun and interactive, instead of just spouting off a whole spiel about each wine he asked us our impressions and preferences while giving us blind tastings and only then did he describe the wines. This was great, we learnt so much more about the wine and our own tastes. They have a great variety and you're sure to find something you like.
