Barringwood Park Vineyard is 15 kilometres south of Devonport en route to Sheffield and Cradle Mountain. The four hectare vineyard is planted out with the traditional cool climate varieties of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as the more recently proven varieties of Pinot Gris, Schonburger and Pinot Meunier-producing table wines from these varieties and a Sparkling Pinot Noir-Chardonnay to be released before Christmas 2003. At the Cellar Door you will have an opportunity to taste the wines produced in the vineyard and/or relax and enjoy a platter of local produce with a glass of one of Barringwood Park's award winning wines. Enhancing this tasting experience is the ambient atmosphere of the Cellar Door, which features the warmth and beauty of natural Tasmanian timbers, and provides stunning views of the vineyard and across picturesque countryside towards Bass Strait.
