The 'Tamar Valley' is a very picturesque valley which runs north-west from
Launceston to the coast either side of the
Tamar River, a distance of about fifty kilometres. There are more than 20 vineyards that line the shores of the valley and tourists are guided by the
Tamar Valley Wineroute. Prominent vineyards include
Tamar Ridge Wines (owned by
Gunns Limited) and
Delamere Vineyard. The main varieties of grapes grown are
pinot noir and
chardonnay.
