Pipers Brook Vineyard

Tasmania


The Tamar's best-known vineyard is home to Pipers Brook, Ninth Island and Kreglinger wines (the Kreglinger sparkling is particularly impressive). There's a tasting room ($5 for six wines) and a cafe serving arancini balls, pizzas and cheeseboards ($45). The tasting fee is waived if you buy a bottle.
