Stretching for 65km along the banks of the Tamar River in northern Tasmania is the well-known wine-producing region of Tamar Valley. Wine lovers can explore the more than 30 vineyards along the Tamar Valley Wine Route, resting overnight at one of the quaint boutique hotels or B&Bs. En route, visit the dairy farms to sample delicious cheeses, cream and strawberries, or Hillwood Berry Farm for quince jam and liqueur. For lovers of maritime history, heading a little further north will bring you to Low Head – the home of Australia’s oldest continuously operated pilot station - a naval museum, the Low Head Lighthouse and Low Head Foghorn – still sounded every Sunday.
