The Break O'Day region in Tasmania is renowned for its notable wineries that thrive in the cool climate and unique soil conditions, specializing in producing high-quality wines, particularly Pinot Noir and Chardonnay.
The region's modern wine community traces back to the late 1950s when French immigrant Jean Miguet and Italian immigrant Claudio Alcorso spearheaded the recognition of Tasmania's viticultural potential due to its climate and soil. Over the years, the region has witnessed substantial growth, drawing in innovative winemakers and establishing elevated standards for Tasmanian wines.
Today, tourists can immerse themselves in the stunning landscapes, savor locally sourced ingredients, and taste some of the island's most exceptional wines at various wineries within the Break O'Day region.
