Champagne Goddess Tour Tamar Valley & Effervescence Festival

Duration: 5 days, 4 nights

Streets of Hobart near Salamanca Markets with some cafe and restaurant outdoor seating in the background

A Sparkling Escape Awaits…

Get ready for an extraordinary journey through Tasmania’s most enchanting wine regions. I’ve designed this experience to be more than just a tour—it’s an immersive celebration of sparkling wine, regional flavours, and the natural beauty that makes Tasmania so special.

We’ll visit some of the island’s most acclaimed vineyards and spend plenty of time enjoying private tastings and meeting the passionate people behind the wines.

Along the way, you’ll expand your palate and deepen your understanding of what makes Tasmanian sparkling wine truly world-class.

But this tour is about more than wine. It’s about the full sensory experience:

✨ Staying in elegant, handpicked accommodations
🍽️ Savouring chef-led dinners and gourmet delights
🧺 Wandering through local markets bursting with flavour
🌿 Exploring natural gems
🏙️ Enjoying the charm of Tasmania’s towns and countryside

We’ll time our journey to align with the dazzling Effervescence Tasmania festival, where you’ll have the option to attend masterclasses and signature events that bring together the very best of the island’s sparkling scene.

This isn’t a cookie-cutter group tour. My experiences are tailored for small groups of wine lovers who value connection, discovery and authenticity. It’s relaxed, personal, and filled with thoughtful touches.

If this sounds like your kind of adventure, I’d love to share this beautiful part of the world with you and give you a memorable experience that you’ll remember for years to come.

    How are my Wine Tours Unique?

    As someone who’s had a long-standing love affair with all things sparkling, be it Champagne, Prosecco, or Sparkling wine—I made it my mission to ensure that each of my tour guests enjoy connection and savour meaningful experiences that go beyond the usual tour routes, with other like minded, passionate wine connoisseurs.
    Let’s be honest… wine always tastes better when it’s shared I’ve found that great wine tastes even better when paired with great stories, lively conversation and a touch of expert insight.

    🥂 Boutique, Curated Wine Tours made by me, for YOU!
    🥂 Small, Intimate Small Group Tour experience (NO Cookie Cutter Large Tours here!)
    🥂 Immersive Experiences, (so you can truly experience a sense of ‘Place’)
    🥂 Welcoming for all experience levels
    🥂 Guided with an Expert touch (by yours truly!)

    My tours are designed to be welcoming for everyone — whether you’re a seasoned sparkling connoisseur or just starting to explore the world of Champagne, Prosecco and Sparkling Wine.

    My Sparkling Wine Tour Reviews

    Effortless and organised

    Touring to Tasmania with Susan is always effortless and organised. We really enjoy the program of masterclasses at Effervescence Tasmania, however this year, Susan created some bespoke activities that were better than expected. Meeting Tasmanian Winemaker Natalie Fryar at our own dinner was really interesting. I learned a lot.

    Lots of fun and laughter

    Had a wonderful time with the Champagne Goddess at the Tasmania Effervescence Festival. Susan provided for every occasion making it memorable. Lots of fun and laughter.  A most enjoyable and worthy occasion, not to mention the Tasmanian Sparkling Wines!

    I can’t wait to do this again!

    A must for anyone who wants to experience some of the best world class sparkling wines & food Tasmania has to offer. I can’t wait to do this again. The Champagne Goddess has perfected everything you want from a small group boutique tour of the best wineries & hidden foodie gems in this beautiful region.

    Why Tasmania is Such Great Value

    Tasmania’s Sparkling Wine scene is booming and savvy connoisseurs are quickly discovering that this island state is producing bubbles that now rival the best of France, without the hefty price tag of a trip to Champagne or Europe.
    An overseas wine adventure comes with its own set of challenges—visas, long-haul flights, fluctuating exchange rates, crowds of peak-season tourists etc.

    Instead of navigating the complexities (and costs) of an international trip, why not indulge in an equally spectacular, yet refreshingly affordable alternative, where the only thing you need to focus on is enjoying the next sip! 🥂
