Step back in time and visit Richmond, Australia's most delightful Georgian village, on this relaxed half-day adventure that includes a local wine tasting. Established in 1825, five years before Port Arthur, Richmond is a genuine village of slate and cobblestone, handmade brick and mellow stone, cottages and manors. Wander streets lined with sandstone buildings that showcase the best of Tasmania's fine art and crafts. Visit Richmond Gaol, built in 1825 as part of Governor Arthur's system of police districts. The building was added to in the 1830s and was last used as a jail in 1928. One of its infamous inmates was convict Ikey Solomon, said to be the model for Dickens' Fagin. The next stop is one of the stunning Coal River Wineries. Enjoy a taste of Tasmania's finest produce, the cool-climate Coal River wines. Relax on the drive back to port.
