The Tamar Valley is one of the oldest wine growing areas in Tasmania. A wide variety of wines can be sampled at the many cellar doors in the Valley. Alongside the booming wine industry a vibrant food industry has also developed. Along with the traditional fruit crops of apples you will also find raspberries, blueberries and more. At some places you can pick your own fruit fresh off the plant when they are in season.
