If you haven’t made plans for the start of Spring or Father’s Day, AND you’re a bit of a last-minute kind of person, visit the sunny East Coast of Tassie for the 2021 Great Eastern Wine Week.
Meet the winemakers, the growers, the producers, and the people behind the wine. It’s all about the people, the places, the natural beauty and the stories of the East Coast, as well as of course, enjoying our award-winning wines!
With just one week to go, there are still some amazing events that have tickets left for you. If you were lucky enough to score yourself one of Tasmania’s Travel Vouchers, most events are eligible for redemption.
