ATTRACTIONS LALLA TAS

For a fresh, funky and fun approach to wine, whisky and cheese tasting, the multi-award-winning Leaning Church Vineyard guarantees a truly unique experience..

Leaning Church is located in a spectacular natural amphitheatre at the foothills of Mount Arthur near Lilydale, 20 minutes from Launceston, in the internationally-acclaimed Pipers River wine region.

Established 25 years ago, the vineyard gained global recognition under the Lalla Gully and Clover Hill labels with premium Sparkling, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, as well as a Sauvignon Blanc declared one of Australia's best. All wines, as well as a Sweet Riesling and Merlot, are available for tasting at cellar door.

Visitors to Leaning Church can wander around the vineyard and landscaped gardens, tour the historic "leaning" church, peruse local art, indulge in a glass of wine with a local cheese plate, sample single-malt whiskies and laugh at naughty wine labels.

Leaning Church also offers a full range of pre-booked functions in our rustic cellar door (up to 56 people), a permanent marquee on a fully-paved surface (140), an historic "leaning" church (48) and a new lakeside marquee site (360).

Providence Vineyard is located near the township of Lilydale, in the Tamar Valley, northern Tasmania..

Providence was founded by French winemaker Jean Miguet in 1956 and is the oldest of Tasmania’s modern vineyards. The two-hectare (five-acre) vineyard produces pinot noir and chardonnay and a small amount of Riesling. The original pinot noir and chardonnay vines planted by Jean Miguet in 1956 still produce fruit used in the current vintages.

You can taste the range of award-winning Providence wines at the cellar door most of the year and by appointment during winter (July and August). The vineyard also sells a range of other fine Tasmanian wines, and your purchased wines can be shipped Australia wide free of charge..

The Tamar Valley is one of Tasmania’s premium wine producing regions. The area is characterised by a cool climate, loamy soils and long ripening periods; ideal conditions for high quality grapes and distinctively flavoured wines.

The Vineyard is a 25-minute drive northeast of Launceston (27 kilometres/17 miles) on the Tamar Valley Wine Route.
