Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- westy54Sydney, Australia13,309 contributionsWe visited on a cold and wet Saturday and wondered if an event was on as we had to park in the overflow car park. Turns out there were several functions on and the place was buzzing. Notwithstanding this the staff found us a table, albeit outside (luckily the rain had stopped), but with a good view over the lake and the vineyards.
The "Pecking" menu had a selection of nibbles (olives, oysters, dukkah and olive oil) plus some more substantial dishes (cheese and meat platters, home-made pies, toasties and vegetable soup). We had the seasonal vegetable soup with sourdough rye and it was very tasty. We accompanied this with a bottle of very drinkable Pinot Noir.
We spent a very pleasant hour or so just whiling away the afternoon.
Staff were very friendly and helpful.Written 28 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It is a beautiful spot but I dislike the new concrete and metal steps down to the river. So ugly and out of character.Written 28 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Skander MSydney, Australia19 contributionsVisiting Richmond, and particularly Richmond Gaol, is well worth the trip. The gaol itself is small but you can wander through and see everything easily, it is in good condition, and the descriptions are very good. It is easy to get to from the town (5 min walk), highly recommended it.Written 27 July 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel_addict13_10Australia654 contributionsDespite the cold windy weather, the outdoor lunch venue was sufficiently sheltered, with outdoor heaters, for us to have a very enjoyable lunch looking out over the fields and to Richmond. A very picturesque setting. The wood fired pizzas were excellent. The staff cheerful and helpful. The wines top class. A great way to spend Sunday afternoon.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Michael L13 contributionsThought that was good fun to look at and would suit families and those interested in a little bit of Tasmanian history. However, I thought $17.50 for a single was a bit excessive.Written 7 November 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christopher E6 contributionsBravo Helen and Maurice Curtis for courageously and successfully creating an excellent wine tasting experience and the joint Federation Chocolate business. Their knowledge, skills and achievements are to be commended. Our family gathering for lunch, yummy pizzas, wonderful wines and delicious chocolates were the highlight of our time in Tassie for our holiday.Written 10 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Travel_addict13_10Australia654 contributionsIt seems all of the negative reviews were from repeat visitors who were comparing it to the past. Those of us who were first time visitors seem to have enjoyed it. It appears to have a new owner and plans are already being enacted for improvements eg new tiny Highlander cows to entertain children. Feeding kangaroos is always appealing to children. The lions were impressive. It was a good experience for children to see so many animals and birds at such close range. Yes, there is room for improvement, but that is not uncommon in so many places. Give it a go!Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

Wine aficionados will also be aware of the quality of the wine being produced here. But the freshly minted digs for Pressing Matters is a huge step-up on the total experience for visitors. The new, architect designed tasting room is well worth visiting for itself. It’s tasteful, modern and with plenty of space and comfortable seating indoors and outdoors which take full advantage of the immediate vineyard surroundings scenery as well as the glorious views down the valley.
What was particularly striking for me was the friendly and welcoming staff! Stephanie and her team were authentic in their enthusiasm and sharing of their wine expertise- which for novices like me, was much appreciated.
Being so close to the historic town of Richmond, and an easy taxi or Uber from Hobart, Pressing Matters is a must do!Written 11 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- HelenAvaientBrisbane, Australia59 contributionsMouthwatering little parcels of delicious. The picnic area is a delight, where you can sit on the grass or on the recycled pallet chairs. The views over the countryside are ideal. A lovely spot.Written 10 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- U4743XBandrewsMelbourne, Australia11 contributionsWe popped in while we were in Richmond and decided to come back on Friday Night as it was their Music, Food and Drinks event that they hold every second Friday. We were looked after both times and were made to feel like we were part of the family….
If you are in the area , whether it’s the Friday evening that they hold the Event or just feel like popping in for a tasting, it is definitely worth it , especially their amazing Bush Liqueur…Written 10 March 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
