Tasmania Coach Touring Packages from AABH

Launceston is Tasmania’s second largest city and a vibrant hub for food and wine, culture and nature. The whole region is packed with city and country charm, gorgeous old towns, excellent food and wine and beautiful scenery. The city is one of Australia’s oldest cities and offers one of the best-preserved early cityscapes in Australia with its elegant Colonial and Victorian architecture and century-old parks. Just a short distance from the city centre, Cataract Gorge is a slice of wilderness right in the heart of town and Launceston’s natural attraction. Today you have the opportunity to experience one of Tasmania’s premier wineries – Josef Chromy Wines. Join the “Go Behind The Label Tour” to explore the wine making process from grape to glass.
