Tasmania East Coast Road Trip Guide | Where to Stay, Eat and Explore
A Tasmania east coast road trip is one of the best ways to experience the island’s coastline, combining white sand beaches, national parks, cellar doors, seafood, wildlife and some of Australia’s most unique cool-climate wines.
Stretching from Bicheno to Freycinet and Wineglass Bay, this part of Tasmania is known for its dramatic scenery, slower pace and growing reputation as one of the country’s most exciting food and wine destinations.
For travellers looking to combine luxury accommodation, vineyard experiences and unforgettable landscapes, the east coast offers the perfect journey.
Discover Tasmania’s Emerging Wine Region
Tasmania’s east coast is becoming one of the state’s most exciting wine regions, with cool coastal conditions producing exceptional Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and sparkling wines.
Along your journey, you’ll find boutique vineyards, cellar doors and winemakers shaping the future of Tasmanian wine.
At Wineglass Bay Estate, our own vineyard is now taking shape, adding a new chapter to the region’s growing wine story.
With our Cellar Door opening soon, guests will be able to experience wine tasting, local produce and seasonal dining, all set against the backdrop of Great Oyster Bay.
