Book a guided tasting inside a working winery and see where the riesling, pinot noir and shiraz are fermented and aged.

Choosing a Tasting Experience

For a tasting without leaving Hobart City & Inner Suburbs, Glebe has an urban winery on the fringe of the CBD. Glaetzer-Dixon Family Winemakers pours from a purpose-built cellar in an old ice factory, and the person pouring is the winemaker, Nick Glaetzer.

Why an inner-city cellar suits a group:

It sits on the edge of the CBD, so a tasting slots in before dinner in town or at the start of a touring day.
Sessions are by appointment, seven days, and take 30 to 45 minutes.
The fruit comes from around a dozen southern growers, many in the Coal River Valley and further up the Derwent.
Winemaking is hands-off: natural yeast, nothing added, sulphites kept below 50ppm.
Riesling, pinot noir and shiraz make up the range, with bottles for sale on the day.

Because the grapes come from the Coal River Valley and the Derwent, the tasting gives a preview of regions you may visit later.
A coach or booked driver is the way to link the cellar with other wine stops, so nobody drives after tasting.
The label's own vineyard at Tea Tree supplies a single-site range.
Birthday groups and colleagues are both occasions the winery takes.

Questions to ask Glaetzer-Dixon before you go

Confirm the group size the tasting room can take, as no maximum is published.
Lock in a time in advance, as there's no drop-in pouring.
Ask which current releases will be open on the day.
Check whether bottles bought by a large group can be held for collection.
