Wine producers with this icon displayed are participants in the Tasmanian Mixed Dozen freight scheme. This allows you to purchase a bottle or two from different vineyards as you travel around and have wine dispatched to your home address once you’ve reached a dozen bottles. Present your purchased wines (in dozen lots) at the last participating vineyard on your travels from which you purchase wine — they’ll let you know the cost of freight and it will be sent straight to you.
Australia Post is our preferred provider for safe delivery of your mixed dozen wines. Your wine can be delivered to your home, Parcel locker or Parcel Collect at your choice of Post Office.
Established in late 2006, Wine Tasmania is the peak body assisting the island's vignerons to be recognised as world leaders.
