For years I have been traveling to Richmond just outside of Hobart and have passed by the Pooleys Wine Sign. I was pleasantly surprised to find a world class facility offering world class wines when I ventured in the other day.

The vineyard has been around for years and the grapes are sourced from 2 of their vineyards.

On the wall by the tasting bar is a cool cross section of the terraine of the different properties which are vastly different even though they are only 20 minutes away.

The wines themselves are great – pricey but worth it.

I particularly like the subtle flavours of the reisling and chardonnay.

Tastings are $5 pp but if you purchase a wine this is waivered. I highly recommend popping in on the way into or out of Richmond and if you go on the weekends they can be very busy with their woodfire cafe outside.
