The Tasmania Committee of The Australiana Fund cordially invite you to a walking and wine tasting tour of Waterton Hall.
This magnificent family owned, 1850s homestead is the home of Waterton Hall Wines. The 2-hour tour led by the owners or Estate manager will focus on the property’s history, its historic outbuildings while enjoying sweeping views of the Tamar River, wine tasting and canapés.
Covering convict history in the magnificent, restored stone barn with Riesling and nibbles, colonial history in the gorgeous gardens and maritime history in the delightful boathouse and a taste of Shiraz. View the Saint Mary McKillop Josephite School House with Viognier, followed by a special, exclusive, private tour of the ground floor of Waterton Hall before enjoying a charcuterie and cheese platter and something sweet!
The award-winning, cool climate wines of Waterton Hall will be available for purchase on conclusion of the tour.
All proceeds go to The Australiana Fund, established in 1978 by Mrs Tamie Fraser AO, to acquire and maintain an historical and culturally significant collection of Australian artworks. The Fund’s purpose is to enrich Australia’s four official residences – Government House and The Lodge in Canberra, Admiralty House and Kirribilli House in Sydney – with artworks that are Australian by origin or association, to illustrate the nation’s history and creativity through its cultural and artistic legacy. The collection has a unique role as a ‘working collection’ bringing aspects of Australia’s story to life while meeting the very practical requirements of the houses.
Since 1978, The Fund’s members and supporters have contributed more than $10 million to support collection acquisitions and preservation as well as initiatives to promote the collection to a wider audience. The Fund’s collection continues to grow as a visual expression of our nation’s distinctive cultural heritage and contemporary creativity.
