Leaning Church Vineyard

Tasmania


Producing a quaffable sparkling wine (tastings free), this pretty vineyard is built around an old – and yes, leaning – timber church. Visitors can enjoy a glass of wine and a grazing platter ($52 for two people) or cheese plate ($30) at terrace tables or on picnic blankets. Children can enjoy a lunch box ($12) and a play in the sandpit.
