Hi
@SaberX, sure, happy to chime in. I'm wary of spending too much time off topic on this forum, so I will use the response as a chance to highlight a handful of Tassies best wineries in close proximity to Hobart (that you may want to visit). Hopefully this gives some value to other readers as well.
Due to the Tas climate I think we produce the best pinot's and sav blanc's in the country (the sav blanc's are on par with NZ's best). It appear's that Dean agrees, as in the image below he is drinking a Stefano Lubiana pinot, sourced from just outside of Hobart.
Honestly, you could spend 3 nights, 3 weeks, or 3 months travelling around Tas, depending on your interests, scope of what you want to do, and ideal speed of travel. Personally I like to take things slow. If you have a week, that is a nice amount of time to spend a few nights in Hobart (see previous answer to
@Adem for a few suggestions), and then do some trips out of the city. Consider some of the following (here come the vineyard suggestions):
Just north-east of Hobart (20 minute drive) is the Coal Valley with some of our best vineyards, where you can stop for lunch/drinks. In this area, consider visiting:- Frogmore Creek Vineyard
- Coal Valley Vineyard
Just north of Hobart (40ish minute drive) is New Norfolk, if you feel like a day trip to a country town. On your way here, consider visiting:- Stefano Lubiana Vineyard (source of Dean's drop above)
- Derwent Estate Vineyard
- Laurel Estate Vineyard
Since you have a week in Hobart, consider a trip up the east coast to spend a night or two in the Frecyinet or Bay of Fires area (3-4 hours coastal drive). On your trip, consider visiting:- Bream Creek Vineyard (love their sav blanc; tastes like passionfruit) - located in Bream Creek
- Darlington Vineyard (run by an old family friend. Lovely sav blanc) - located in Orford
- Milton Vineyard - located just past Swansea
There are many, many more. If you want to travel further, consider visiting the Tamar Valley to the north of the state, and the Huon Valley south of Hobart (it is very scenic in the Huon as well). Stop at Willie Smiths in the Huon Valley for some of best hard cider you'll ever drink (none of that over sweet crap).
Cheers, I'll leave it there. Safe travels.
Now, back to DW8...
