The Wine Hopper

The Wine Hopper operates from its base at 101A Albert Road, Moonah — the same premises as Tassie Tours Tasmania — providing a hop-on hop-off wine bus service through southern Tasmania's cool-climate wine country. The format is deliberately flexible: guests buy a pass, board at the designated stops, hop off at the cellar doors that interest them, spend as long as they like, and hop back on when they're ready. No fixed itinerary, no minimum time at each stop, no need for a designated driver. The hop-on hop-off model suits wine tourists who know what they want from a day — guests who have done their research, have specific producers in mind, or who simply want the freedom to linger at a favourite cellar door without holding up a tour group. It's also one of the most social formats available, with a rotating cast of fellow travellers who share the bus between stops. Southern Tasmania's wine regions — the Coal River Valley, Derwent Valley, and Huon Valley — are among the most scenic and consistently celebrated cool-climate wine areas in Australia. The Coal River Valley alone contains producers whose Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, and sparkling wines appear regularly on international wine lists and have earned Tasmania its reputation as a serious cool-climate competitor on the world stage. With 21 reviews averaging 4.7 stars, The Wine Hopper has built a following among guests who value the independence and flexibility of the format while appreciating the practical benefit of having a reliable bus making the circuit.
