Our fifth and last winery stop was at Josef Chromy Wines. It's a large commercialized winery with an award winning restaurant in the back. We dropped in on a Monday (around 4:30pm). There were a few others around but most were finishing up with purchases. The view of the vineyards and lake (with a gazebo) is very picturesque. The restaurant seemed high end with prices to match. There's starters, mains, sides and desserts. There's also a four course "feed me" option ($75.00 AUD/person). Wine tastings are $5.00 AUD/person but fee is waived with a bottle purchase. We hit it off with the host who also happened to have lived in Canada. We sampled all 6 of their offerings. - NV Josef Chromy sparkling - 2017 Josef Chromy sauvignon blanc - 2017 Josef Chromy pinot gris - 2016 Josef Chromy chardonnay - 2016 Josef Chromy rosé - 2016 Josef Chromy pinot noir Decent wines but nothing particular stood out to us. If you've got money to burn, dine at the restaurant! read more

What a great place for good food and spectacular wine. The dining room is huge, and perfectly laid out to take advantage of the views. The food...is nothing short of perfection. The oysters were incredibly fresh; the beef carpaccio with truffle aioli was knee trembling; the pork with apple was delicious; and salmon was just...wow! So why not 5 stars...the service was friendly but incredibly slow. read more

Had a chance to try these wines at Taste of Tasmania. A great story about how the business began (the founder escaped from a then-communistic Czechoslovakia) and even better wines. Looking forward to stopping by the cellar door this week! read more

The Josef Chromy vineyard, cafe, cellar door and restaurant is stunning. Housed in a beautiful building with gorgeous lawns above a duck-filled pond and looking across to the vines opposite... I don't think there is a better location to relax in the Launceston area. In summer grab a glass of sparkling and a snack and relax on the lawns, you won't want to leave! read more

An exceptional restaurant and cellar door. Food and service was superb. We dined on Easter Monday and the staff could not has been more accommodating. Great selection of food and incredible wine list wit some great back vintage wines. Once you are finished go and check out the cellar door as some world class Chardonnay, Sparkling, Pinot Noir and Riesling read more

This restaurant and cellar door are perfect for lunch or dinner or just to enjoy a bottle of wine in the garden overlooking the vineyard. Meals are 5 star and different from the usual fare. Highly recommend read more

From the moment we stepped into Josef Chromy's restaurant, the staff were pleasant and professional and we knew we were in for a nice afternoon. I'll start by acknowledging the setting and outlook, which was capitalised on with our outdoor seating. Entree chosen of confit trout and a pork dish were both delicious and generous in portion (considering some nicer restaurants subscribe to the less is more philosophy). Main course of eye fillet, cooked exactly to the medium rare request and chicken, with various complementing sides, were again delicious and couldn't be faulted. Again good sized servings, but not so much that dessert wasn't tackled! Lastly, couldn't fault the individual cheese platter and award winning peach gingerbread trifle. Most pleasing of all was the service and wait staff. Food and drinks order taking was well timed, all staff were pleasant and genuine. Overall very very happy with both the experience and the food - obviously it comes with a price tag, but I'd prefer to pay more for something I'm happy with than less for something sub-standard. Will definitely be back, especially for any special occasions. read more
