Pressing Matters

Charles Reuben Estate Vineyard, Distillery, Lavender Farm and accommodation is located at Tea Tree in Tasmania's Coal River Valley wine region. Tea Tree is a five-minute drive northwest of Richmond (8 km) and a 30-minute drive north of Hobart (35 km). The 'Pinot Cottage' is a secluded self-contained timber cottage on the vineyard with two bedrooms, a spa and a wood fire. A fully equipped European kitchen is part of the open plan lounge and dining area. The lounge room has a beautiful view over some of the vineyard and contains a wood fire. Established in 1990, the four-hectare/ten-acre Charles Reuben Estate has plantings of Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling in addition to other Bordeaux varieties. Since 2015 Charles Reuben Estate also grows high-quality Lavender varieties for oil production and culinary use. In April 2019 the family business also added a specialised brandy distillery. We produce the finest European style small batch fruit brandies as well as Cognac style aged brandy (available from late 2021). Currently we have a selection of fruit brandies available including cherry, apricot, raspberry and blood orange. In addition, we have made a Gin and an un-aged grape Brandy (Tisco)

Stay somewhere steeped in history and nature in an 1830s Sandstone barn. It has been converted into two separate self-contained cottages. Choose to relax in the peace and quiet of farm life, explore the incredible food and wine of the Coal River Valley, and set out on a beautiful walk on our 650 acres of farm. To relax you might just enjoy snuggling up by the fire with good book and glass of wine after a long soak in the bath.
