The East Tamar Valley Wine District includes vineyards, wineries and cellar doors along the eastern side of the
large Tamar inlet and estuary in the Tamar Valley. The District extends from Low Head south along the
inlet to Launceston. The wineries and cellar doors in the famous Pipers River and Pipers Brook areas are included in the Pipers District.
The district is part of the Tamar Valley Wine Route and you can travel north along the eastern side of the
estuary and back to Launceston along the western side. The wineries close to Launceston itself are included in

of the wineries. There are many tourist attractions in the area.

Swinging Gate, TAS 103 Glendale Road, Sidmouth Tasmania 7270
“The gates are swinging again”. After a period of 15 years the vineyard has reopened with a new identity and we can again sample the complex wines from vines that were planted over 20 years ago. Located in the premium area of the Tamar Valley, Swinging Gate Vineyard sits just above the mist, with cool nights and a sunny aspect creating the perfect environmental conditions to produce premium wine. It’s been a long time between drinks but well worth waiting for. After purchasing the property in 2014, we have been working hard to rejuvenate the vines to their former glory. We have also transformed the machinery shed into our own Cellar Door and Day Spa, offering the public the access to relax and enjoy the experience that we so lovingly get to experience every day.
