Had an absolutely delightful evening with Glenn. His chefs and kitchen staff have an incredibly good menu- everything I ordered tasted amazing and was beautifully presented. Other dishes looked amazing too. The wines were yummo… I especially loved the rose bubbles🍾
Well worth a visit…. Your taste buds will be 😃 happy. Thanks again Glenn.!

On arrival, you won’t realise that you’ve stumbled into a moment in time you should not bypass.
A culinary experience unlike anything we have enjoyed across the rest of Tasmania including Hobarts finest restaurants. Chefs Nura, Dia, and head chef Steve Keene have created a menu with focus on local ingredients by design, flavour exploration and diversity with an execution that surpasses fine dining.
Do not let the Tasmanian rugged charm deter you - this is what will make the experience truly memorable. 5 stars - would not be surprised of a Michelin.

Amazing place for lunch, the food quality and presentation is much better than many city based restaurants. They close at 4pm so it’s a pity it’s not open for dinner.
I was driving so didn’t try their wines but they have tastings too.
Milo is such a lovely dog!

The entrees and dessert were the standouts! Just the prettiest presentation - perfect for a spring day sitting in the Tasmanian sunshine.
For entrees the scallop ceviche, goats cheese pancetta and an ocean trout beetroot carpaccio were all amazing.
We were pleasantly surprised that lunch came to less than $75 per person including bottle of wine.

We spent a splendid long lunch at this Family Owned & Operated Vineyard & Cellar Door. We came for the wine and stayed for the food. Thanks for the amazing hospitality and produce. One of the absolute highlights of our Tassie trip. We have been non stop recommending you. We hope to visit again soon! Thanks for the great memories.

Beautiful, humble vineyard and restaurant. Flora’s restaurant was wonderful. They made us a bespoke dish off menu because we said we were in the mood for fish and didn’t have something on the menu that tickled our fancy. It was excellent! Highly recommend the food, the vibe and of course the wine!

We arrived at Craigie Knowe winery by accident just before closing time on a spectacular Sunday afternoon in October. Exhausted from an early morning flight from Sydney that landed us in Hobart rather than the intended Launceston. Desperately searching for a coffee before heading back to Hobart we happened upon a small sign advertising a patisserie which we assumed must also serve coffee. To our surprise it was the Craigie Knowe cellar door in a barn set amid the vines. The owner, Glenn Travers and his family were just closing up for the day but invited us in and provided the much-needed coffee. But soon the conversation turned to wine, and out came some glasses and a tasting of the 2022 Estate Pinot Noir, a deep red wine with a nose of berry and a hint of vanilla. The mouth feel was balanced and well-structured with initial cherry and raspberry flavors blended with a hint of chocolate and ending in a cedary and soft tannin finish. Other bottles came out and we found ourselves revisiting older vintages, a 2015 Pinot Noir was particularly appealing, developing bottle-age complexity and nuance. The evening continued with other bottles being brought out, until it became evident that we could not and should not drive back to Hobart. Our host picked up the phone and in short order arranged for us to spend the night at Wagner’s Cottages in nearby Swansea, a complex of 100+ year old , stone, farm cottages renovated into luxurious accommodations in a beautiful garden. Realizing that we would need to eat too, he called the Saltshaker restaurant and persuaded them to stay open. We finished the day with perfectly fresh, briny oysters and roast quail while watching the sun go down over the bay and the Freycinet Peninsula. The serendipitous encounter with Glenn and Tristan Travers, their family and friendly dogs turned out to be one of the most enjoyable and memorable days we have had in many years of travel and wine tasting. A detour off the main road to the Craigie Know winery is more than worth the time. Not only is the wine good but the owners make it exceptional.

Enjoyed a wine and chocolate experience for a good price with friendly explanation. Wine and chocolates were delicious and of high quality.
Really enjoyed the relaxed casual atmosphere sitting amongst the vines with stunning rural views and dogs.

Fantastic wines! Sparkling Rosé has got to be my favourite, with the Rosé coming in close after. Beautiful and tidy vineyard as well as wonderful ambience, loved that you turned an old wine making shed into the cellar door and you kept that precious history. Cheese board was sooooo tasty and the use of local goods is such an amazing thing to do.
You’d never expect a patisserie, winery and pizza in the middle of nowhere would you? What next? A barista? (To be fair that sounds like a good idea). You are doing yourself a disservice if you happen to drive past. Pull in, grab a cheese board, a glass of Riesling, and a delicate dessert. ????
Thank you for the amazing service at Craigie Knowe.

Fantastic wine tasting. The farm manager personally took us through each wine, learnt so much. We accompanied our tasting with the Tasmanian grazing platter. Equally delicious. Couldn't have asked for a better afternoon. Will be most definitely coming back.

This place was brilliant! We love visiting small family run vineyards. The service was great by both son and father. The wines were great. The cheese board was delicious although a little pricy for what it was. The place had a feel to it, sitting outside amongst the grapes and paddock. Would highly recommended!

Met Glenn the owner who gave us a great tour round the vineyard, the back story, culminating in the tasting in the rustic barn. Glenn was very entertaining!!
Highly recommend you seek out Glenn for your tasting. The barn was really groovy. We (6 of us) had the best time & would recommend this to everyone.
And the wines are fantastic. Pinot gris, Riesling & Rose are top notch, whilst the 2 Pinot noirs we tasted were more full bodied that many I’ve tasted. Crackers!
The 2017 Cab Sav was superb!
Put this on you “must do” list

We visited multiple vineyards in a row and Craigie Knowe was hands down the best of the lot. A really picturesque setting, cute dogs and great wines. What's not to love.
Be sure to try the wine and chocolate pairings they offer (chocolates are from coal river farm, also a great visit)

Stopped in for lunch and had a beautiful platter of local produce. everything was just wonderful. The setting is just divine. We sat outside as it was a nice day. The service was exemplary and the host friendly and knowledgeable.
We didn't try the wines but they have a great reputation. The highlight was the treats in the patisserie. Being unable to decide between the Black Forrest, Raspberry Cheesecake or Apple Delight dessert we took one of each. I expect some of the other offerings would have been just as good.
Taking the 3 was the right choice as each was fantastic. There were some hidden treats in them and the taste was awesome
