About

Our Story

Forth Valley Wines is a family owned business. The vineyard was purchased in 2015 as a going concern but the vines had never been used to produce wine under its own label.
Our focus is on small batch Fine Wines, since the vineyards purchase we have been working on increasing the yield from the vines and improving the quality of the fruit produced.

2018 saw the culmination of the effort with the vineyard winning the Best White Wine in show at the Royal Hobart Wine Show.

Adrian Smith

Having a passion for wine it was a dream come true when the family collaborated in the purchase of the vineyard. With no formal training in winemaking it has been a hard road to get to where we are now, I am looking forward to see what we can produce form our very small vineyard in the coming years.

Carol Smith

Carol shares the families passion for wine. She is always keen to work on the vineyard whenever the chance arises and enjoys the clean fresh air in Tasmania.

Renee Smith

On completion of her degree at Adelaide University Renee moved to Tasmania to further her career in the wine industry.
Apart from working full time Renee has taken on the challenge of managing the family vineyard.
Given the first 2 years were almost a complete disaster, to come back with an award in our 3rd year was quite an achievement.
