Yaxley Estate Vineyard is a certified organic property located in the South East region of Tasmania. Situated on a sunny, dry and hilly landscape facing the deep blue of the Tasman Sea, it was planted on a sandy slope facing north with the vineyard receiving the first rays of the morning sun as it rises over the ocean. The summer days are the longest in Australia and this, tempered with a cool, dry microclimate means the grapes ripen over a longer period and thus produce a more intense fruit flavour for each variety. They produce Pinot Gris, Pinot Noir and in some years Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc as well. Yaxley Estate no longer operates a cellar door from the property, instead they partner with Vines and Designs (at The Copping Museum, 2217 Arthur Highway) to offer a regional wine tasting experience representing them plus other south eastern vineyards, a local art and craft gallery, licensed café, pantry/deli products and gold coin entry to the colonial collection and museum on site. Vines and Designs is open Thursday - Monday from 0900 - 1700. Closed for 3 weeks in winter each year, please phone 03 6253 5373 for details.

The Murraville Golf Club is a scenic nine-hole course at Dunalley, south east Tasmania. Dunalley is a 50-minute drive south east of Hobart (61 kilometres) at the northern tip of the Tasman Peninsula. The Murraville Golf Club features a generally flat, tight layout with watered greens, tees and surrounds. Narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers and abundant trees add challenge to your round. The ninth hole is a highlight, requiring a long shot over water to the green. The Club hosts regular competitions including the Saturday men's competition, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday mixed competition and Friday morning ladies' competition. Like many Tasmanian golf courses, the Murraville Golf Club treats golfers with fantastic views of the surrounding forest and ocean. Guides, clubs and buggy hire are all available, the club house is open for drinks each day and snacks and meals can also be arranged. Holes: 9, Par: 66, Length: 4,032 metres, Australian Course Rating: 61.1

Fresh fish and seafood - live if possible - is the philosophy of Dunalley Fish Market. Crayfish are cooked daily and oysters are not opened until you ask for them to be. All the produce is caught or harvested locally. Denison Canal is a shortcut from the East Coast to Hobart that avoids navigating the Tasman Peninsula, and so has lots of fishing boats passing through. The market itself is in a lovely setting by the water and offers free use of a barbecue, or purchases can be packed in insulated boxes suitable for your journey by car, boat or plane.

Bream Creek Vineyard is one of the first commercial vineyards established in Tasmania. Originally planted in 1973, the vineyard was purchased in 1990 by Fred Peacock, who increased Pinot Noir and Chardonnay plantings and introduced Sauvignon Blanc. Fred also planted the first commercial block of Schönburger in the Southern Hemisphere at Bream Creek. .

Bream Creek Vineyard produces premium cool climate Tasmanian wines that are renowned as both complex and elegant. Since 1990, Bream Creek wines have garnered 18 trophies and over 394 show medals and have an enviable reputation for producing wines that are consistently complex and elegant. These award winning wines are available for tasting at our cellar door at the Dunalley Waterfront Café (just ten minutes from the vineyard) or at Vines and Designs at Copping. If you are in Hobart, our wines are also available for tasting at Blue Eye Restaurant at Salamanca.
