Over forty vineyards across Tasmania’s key southern wine regions, Derwent Valley, Coal River Valley and Huon Valley / D'Entrecasteaux Channel, will throw open their doors to guests in March 2025.

Wine lovers from around Australia come together to meet the masterminds behind some of Tasmania’s most loved wine labels, some of whom don’t usually operate a cellar door.

Southern Open Vineyards Weekend is a chance for winemakers to proudly showcase their work, but more than that, it gives our hardworking winemakers the opportunity to meet and get to know the people who enjoy their wine.

Winemakers are a jovial bunch so you can count on them to pull out all stops when it comes to hosting, with many vineyards offering live music and food options created especially for the weekend.
