If you’re on a cruise and want to dive into Tassie’s culture, history, and top-notch wine, our Hobart city and Coal River Valley Shore Excursion is exactly what you’re after. Let’s go explore Hobart, sip some wine, taste Wicked Cheese, and maybe even grab a cheeky photo with your cruise ship in the background!

Tour highlights

Historic Hobart City Tour

We kick things off with a guided tour of Hobart, uncovering over 40 iconic spots in our charming capital. From hidden gems to landmark sights, you’ll see it all — all with a local’s insight.

Coal River Valley Wine Region

Next, we’ll cross the Tasman Bridge and head into Tasmania’s famed Coal River Valley — where the wine flows as freely as the conversation! This place is home to some of Tassie’s best wine.

Puddleduck Vineyard

Your first stop is Puddleduck Vineyard, a family-run gem where you’ll get to taste their delicious wines and enjoy a lunch that’ll make your taste buds dance. Cheers to that!

Wicked Cheese Co.

No wine tour is complete without a little cheese, right? At Wicked Cheese Co., you’ll sample some of Tasmania’s award-winning cheeses — it’s like a cheese lover’s dream come true.

Explore Richmond

Time to stretch those legs in the historic town of Richmond, famous for:

  • Convict-built Georgian architecture
  • Australia’s oldest bridge still in use (seriously, it’s old!)
  • Quaint shops, cafes, and galleries to browse at your leisure.

More local flavours

We’ve got one more stop at a carefully selected local cellar door for another round of tastings. Let’s raise a glass to Tasmania’s unique wine varietals.

Scenic photo opportunity

Before we head back to the cruise terminal, we’ll swing by Rosny Point Lookout. It’s the perfect spot to snap a photo with your cruise ship, Hobart city, the River Derwent, and the mighty kunanyi / Mount Wellington all in one shot. Instagram, here we come!
