EVENTS AND ATTRACTIONS KINDRED

Motton Terraces is a true cool-climate vineyard and winery, located in North-West Tasmania. Motton Terraces was established in 1990 and sits tucked into the bush, 4.5 kilometres from the township of North Motton. Wildlife abounds so the entire area is covered in permanent netting. The vines are planted on terraces to maintain the soil at its best. Motton Terraces cellar door and vineyard is open Tuesday to Sunday for free tastings of 'daringly different' Riesling, Chardonnay, Sparkling, Rosé and Tempranillo. Owners Jenny and Flemming will happily talk grapes and wine, and show you around. They do everything from growing the grapes, making the wine, and marketing. Their motto is 'Quality wine at a reasonable price'. You can discover Motton Terraces on your way to or from Leven Canyon and Gunns Plains Caves by detouring off the Preston Road into Allison Road, then Purtons Road.
