About this experience

Sip Happens: Gone South is your private day tour exploring Tasmania’s scenic D’Entrecasteaux Channel region. With space for just four guests, it’s the perfect mix of boutique wineries, coastal views, and spontaneous good times — led by a local who keeps the playlist as fresh as the Pinot. This isn’t your average group tour; it’s all about relaxed vibes, cheeky laughs, and car-a-oke moments in between sips. You’ll be picked up from your door, swept away to beautiful cellar doors, and treated to a day that’s curated, personal, and just a little unhinged — in all the best ways.
