The Neighborhood:
The region is best known for creating cool-climate wines from the brisk wind blowing in from the southern ocean and down from the surrounding Meehan Ranges. Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling are the most popular grape varieties in the Coal River Valley wine region; working well with the crisp, fresh attributes of a cool-climate wine.

The Coal River Valley wine region is still quite young with the first winery popping up in the 1970s, since then a handful of boutique cellar doors have opened up, each showcasing the great flavours of Tasmania.

The weather conditions can be harsh in Tasmania, especially in the winter, but the surrounding hills of the Valley provide shelter from the westerly winds. Though winter brings its own aspects of beauty, the best time to visit the Coal River Valley is around January to March. The valley takes on a stunning summery vibe, and the energy is infectious.

Every hill, bridge, rock and vineyard in the Coal River Valley has a story to tell, and the best way to retain that knowledge is by allowing an experienced wine tour guide to take you down the rabbit hole and beyond.

Pooley Wines is an incredible sandstone estate nearby and their cellar door showcases all of their elite wines plus they offer a great selection of wood-fired pizzas from 12-3pm, Friday to Sunday (note: bookings are essential).

Their sister vineyard Coinda Vale, which is only 10 minutes away, focuses predominantly on the same three varieties as Pooley's but also showcases Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.

Directly across the valley from the house is Prospect House offering dinner 7 nights per week in the form of a 5 course Degustation Menu. Lunch is also served Friday to Sunday.

Other notable vineyards in the area include Frogmore Creek, Puddleduck Vineyard (great with Children) and Coal Valley Vineyard which also offer pick your own strawberries in the Summer.
