Your Chauffeur to Riversdale Estate
Riversdale Estate represents Tasmania's largest family-owned vineyard, where six generations of agricultural heritage meets world-class winemaking excellence. Located just 20 minutes from Hobart in the heart of the Coal River Valley near Cambridge, this award-winning estate has been cultivating the land since 1824.
The Roberts family purchased Riversdale in 1980, and in 1991 planted the first vineyards alongside one of Tasmania's largest olive groves. Today, 40 hectares of carefully selected vineyard sites showcase the property's unique maritime microclimate, with the Pittwater waterfront providing natural frost protection and moderating temperatures during the ripening season.
The estate's exceptional terroir combines well-drained clay-loam soils over ancient dolerite rock with gentle undulating land stretching to the waterfront. This distinctive location creates the perfect environment for premium cool-climate wines, particularly their celebrated Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Riesling, and Syrah varieties.
“Fantastic day using EVRide, in an exceptional vehicle. Aurelien is charming and knowledgeable. We cannot recommend EVRide highly enough.”
