Pipers River
The Pipers River region, 35 km northeast of Launceston, is the premier wine-producing region in Tasmania, but wine isn’t all that Tasmania and the region have to offer. The diverse delights of Tassie - unspoilt coastline, lakes and wilderness, fresh air, quaint towns and acclaimed restaurants - all lie within an easy drive of each other, perfect for a holiday.
Our team at Dalrymple Wine Room will be happy to take you through a tasting of Dalrymple wines or you can take a walk through the picturesque vineyard, as part of your Tasmanian adventure. And they can recommend their favourite places to visit.
Below you will find the websites of regional friends and some recommendations and suggestions to help you throughout your travels in Tasmania.
