Tasmania - Huon Valley
Plan plenty of time to visit the vineyards in the Huon Valley if you enjoy taking walks through the scenic countryside and tasting and purchasing local wine.
The vineyards are closer to Hobart than any other capital city in the country, and wherever you go there are many popular activities for travelers visiting Hobart and beyond. To the south are the Huon Valley, an area rich in pioneer heritage, and the scenic D'Entrecasteaux Canal. This is a region of waterways and wilderness, arts and crafts, forests and fishing boats, orchards and vineyards.a guide to the best places to stay, events, and attractions in the Huon Valley.

THE CLIMATE
The towns are located in the estuary's headwaters and along the coast. Due to the slow ripening and late harvest (April, May, and June), the region produces outstanding cool climate grapes with a wonderful depth of flavors and character despite its southern latitude, which is below the 50th parallel. The region typically experiences mean maximum air temperatures that range from 12°C in July to 22°C in February. From 11°C in February to about 4°C in June and July, the average minimum temperature ranges. Frosts near a river or estuary are uncommon. The annual precipitation is about 850 millimeters on average and fairly constant throughout the year, with a peak from July to October and a minimum in February.
