PRESSING MATTERS IN THE COAL VALLEY HAS OPENED ITS CELLAR DOOR
Spring in The Vines INDUSTRY FEATURE
One of Tasmania’s premier wine events, Spring in the Vines, is just around the corner, with the 2023 edition promising to be the biggest and best yet T he three-day Spring in the Vines Festival began in 2020 to showcase Southern Tasmania’s exceptional cool climate wines and scenic vineyards, and from November 3-5, 38 vineyards and wineries in the Huon, Coal River and Derwent Valleys, the Tasman Peninsula and Channel region will open their tasting rooms to the public, allowing wine lovers to chat directly with producers. With more than 5000 visitors anticipated for the 2023 event, the festival provides a significant economic boost to the southern wine region. Wine South president Mark McNamara says Spring in the Vines is an event not to be missed for wine lovers, especially given it provides a rare opportunity to visit certain producers. “Visitors will have access to a wide range of producers across southern Tassie, including many that rarely open their door to the public,” McNamara said. “Spring in the Vines is the perfect chance to emerge from your winter hibernation with friends and family and experience everything that is unique about southern Tasmanian wine, our vineyards
and producers, and take home some the best of the new season wines.”
This year features six new producers joining Spring in the Vines for the first time. Among those are emerging producers such as Southwood Wines in Kellevie, established vineyards such as Heriots Point Vineyard in Franklin, and established producers such as Bream Creek Vineyard, who have only recently opened their cellar door.
