About Wine South Tasmania
About Wine South Tasmania
Wine South Tasmania is a community-focused, not-for-profit organisation run entirely by enthusiastic volunteers from the Southern Tasmanian wine region.
Founded in 1999, our dedicated committee brings together a diverse blend of skills and backgrounds, united by a passion for our vineyards, winemaking heritage and local community.
Our events
Each year, we proudly produce two signature events to showcase our region's richness: the Southern Open Vineyards Weekend, traditionally held on the first weekend of March, and the Spring in the Vines festival, launched in 2020 and held on the first weekend of November.
Through these events, we celebrate the unique character of Southern Tasmania's wines, boost regional tourism, support vineyard collaborations and enhance our reputation as a premier cool-climate wine destination.
Southern Open Vineyards Weekend
