Taste. Explore. Connect.

The Derwent Experience is a boutique tour operator offering curated journeys that connect visitors to the people, places, and produce that make Southern Tasmania truly unforgettable. Based in Hobart, we specialise in small-group and private experiences that blend story, scenery, and flavour — with just the right amount of fun.

Our signature tours include:

“Drink Tasmania Up!” – A flavour-packed journey through the Derwent and Coal River Valleys, tasting over 30 local wines, spirits, ciders and more. Enjoy cheese, stories, and scenic country roads as we visit five handpicked venues. It’s the best way to Taste. Relax. Explore. from Hobart.

“Hobart to Cradle Mountain Active Day Trip” – A full-day adventure to one of Tasmania’s most iconic landscapes. Ideal for active travellers, this experience combines a scenic road trip with an immersive time exploring Dove Lake and Cradle Mountain – all in one big, beautiful day.

We also design tailored experiences for corporate groups, families, and special events – from gourmet picnics to whisky journeys and private nature escapes.

At The Derwent Experience, our passion is crafting meaningful, memorable moments. Whether you’re tasting the terroir, wandering ancient forests, or sharing stories with locals, we’re here to help you experience Tasmania with heart.
