As the stewards of this historical haven, we’re excited to share our passion and purpose with you.Our journey embarks in 1823, an era that predates Melbourne itself. Uplands was conceived under the watchful eye of John Petchey, a former convict who transformed his life into an entrepreneurial tale. His resilience and reinvention mirror the rich history of Tasmania, a place we’ve come to cherish.In the early years, the Coal River Valley was celebrated as ‘the Granary of Australia,’ flourishing with abundant harvests. Uplands played an integral role, cultivating apricots, quinces, pears, grains, and tending to herds of sheep. Over two centuries, only four families have had the privilege of owning this land, and we are honored to continue this legacy.The tale of viticulture in the Coal River Valley began in 1973, and in 1998, we planted chardonnay vines. Despite our boutique size, Tasmanian Vintners transform our grapes into award-winning wines.Here in the Coal River Valley, our grapes enjoy a unique climate. Winter and spring bring important rainfall, while late summer and early autumn gift us with long, sun-drenched days. This harmonious balance allows our grapes to slowly ripen, infusing them with flavour ripeness and natural acidity.Join us on a journey through time, taste, and terroir. Uplands Vineyard is more than a vineyard; it’s a reflection of our shared passion, a testament to Tasmania’s winemaking legacy, and a place where every bottle tells a story. - [Home](https://uplandsvineyard.com.au/): Licence Number 92216
