WEEKEND AWAY

TASMANIA Vineyard glamping at Clover Hill, Lebrina The term glamping doesn’t do justice to the luxurious experience being offered at Australia’s pre-eminent sparkling wine house, Clover Hill. The area can be chilly overnight, but you won’t know it inside the spacious bell tent, complete with heater, candles, electric blanket, rugs — and views across a rolling hillside of pinot noir all the way to Bass Strait. Your glamping experience can be coupled with lunch and a sparkling wine masterclas­s conducted by chief winemaker Robert Heywood, who will walk you through the winemaking process. Follow this with a seasonal degustatio­n dinner prepared by chef Tanya White, with a glass of Clover Hill wine accompanyi­ng each course. Book now to secure your glamping getaway, which will initially be offered November 15th–17th, to coincide with the Effervesce­nce Tasmania Festival weekend, then at other select times through the year. $300 per night for a two-night stay.
