Bay of Fires Wines

Tasmania


The home of prestigious Arras sparkling and workaday Eddystone Point and Bay of Fires wines, this is perhaps the most attractive vineyard in the Tamar, set between tall deciduous trees and a slope of thick bush. There's a cafe and tasting area and a large lawn (with footballs) that will keep kids happy.
