Discover Pipers Brook

For a trip to Pipers Brook, wineries, wine tastings and regional produce offer different points of interest. There is also truffle hunting, which is described as seasonal. The experiences vary in format, ranging from self-guided winery tours and wine and food to tours available on request. When planning, the type of visit matters just as much as the subject.

Explore wineries on a self-guided tour

At Dalrymple Vineyard, a self-guided tour takes you around the winery; access is through automatic gates. The tour includes four audio stations. Pipers Brook Vineyard also offers a self-guided tour, which follows some of the oldest vines in the area.

The two formats have different focuses: at Dalrymple, audio stations structure the walk around the estate, while at Pipers Brook Vineyard, old vines are the specific point of interest. When choosing a tour, you can decide whether you would prefer to follow a route with audio stations or focus on the vines themselves.

Winemaking history and regional context

Pipers Brook Vineyard has been part of Tasmania's wine industry since 1974 and is considered a modern pioneer of Tasmanian winemaking. Jansz also represents a sparkling wine tradition: Jansz was the first sparkling wine to be made using the traditional Méthode Champenoise. The Jansz Tasmania vineyard is in the heart of the Pipers River region, known as “Sparkling Tasmania”.

Together, these offer two distinct perspectives: the history of a winery that has been part of Tasmania's wine industry since 1974, and the regional context of the Jansz vineyard. If you are interested in winemaking, you can include both the development of an individual winery and “Sparkling Tasmania” as a regional distinction in your travel plans.

Food, wine and tasting rooms

At Nadine's at Pipers, the café serves a relaxed menu featuring Tasmanian produce. You can enjoy Kreglinger Sparkling and Pipers Brook wines grown on the estate as well. In the Jansz wine room, a glass of Jansz is served with a Tasmanian cheese platter; from there, you can enjoy views of a picturesque lake.

At Delamere Vineyards, the tasting room is located within the winery. Seasonal produce for picnics is also available to take away. The options differ: a café menu and estate wines, a cheese platter with Jansz in the wine room, or seasonal picnic provisions to take on the go. Menus and tasting options may change; check the latest details before planning a visit.

Truffle hunting and planning

Pipers Brook Truffles adds truffle hunting to the wine and food offerings: visitors walk through the truffière and can dig up black truffles. The stated season is June to September 2025. Check current availability before making plans. Tours at Delamere Vineyards are available on request; check in advance whether this option is available for your date.

If you are looking for a hotel in Pipers Brook, you can start by organising your itinerary around your preferred focus: vineyard tours, food and tastings, or seasonal truffle hunting. For activities that are seasonal or available on request, check whether they fit your travel dates.
