The Coal River Valley wine region, located just outside Hobart in southern Tasmania, is a cool-climate area renowned for its premium, finely crafted wines. Sheltered between the Meehan and Coal River Ranges, the region enjoys low rainfall, long sunlight hours, and a lengthy ripening season, which allows grapes to develop intense flavour while retaining bright acidity.

It is especially noted for its outstanding Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and Riesling, often praised for their elegance, purity, and structure. With a mix of historic vineyards and modern boutique producers, the Coal River Valley combines rich agricultural heritage with cutting-edge viticulture, making it a standout destination in Tasmania’s growing wine scene.
