ATTRACTION ROSEVEARS

Tamar Ridge Wines has a cellar door, vineyard and winery located in the West Tamar Valley. The Kayena Vineyard is the cornerstone of the Tamar Ridge wines. The vineyard is planted with a range of cool climate varieties, including sauvignon blanc, pinot gris, riesling, chardonnay and pinot noir.
