Observatory Hill Vineyard

Observatory Hill is a family owned and operated, boutique vineyard situated 10 km from the Hobart CBD.

With a long Tasmanian family tradition of working the land, vigneron Glenn Richardson and his wife Chris, planted the first vines on the Mt Rumney property in 1991. Initial success with Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay varieties led to subsequent plantings of Riesling and Sauvignon Blanc. With the purchase of the adjoining property by Chris' brother, Wayne Ramsey and sister in law, Stephanie, a further 2 hectares of Sauvignon Blanc and Pinot Gris were added in 2005. Observatory Hill has become a brand well known for our premium, boutique, cool climate wines of consistently high quality.
