Charles Reuben Estate
Charles Reuben Estate, established in 1989, is a family-run vineyard and boutique distillery nestled in Tea Tree, just minutes from Richmond and only half an hour from Hobart. Visitors can also enjoy the scenic back road via MONA on their way to the estate. Known for its true cool-climate craftsmanship, the vineyard produces premium wines, aromatic brandies, and exclusive fruit brandy digestifs that showcase both German heritage and the pristine flavours of Tasmanian fruit. These unique creations offer a warming taste experience that can’t be found anywhere else in Tasmania—or Australia.
The estate is proudly run by Louise and Jens, along with their three daughters, who manage everything from grape growing and distilling to bottling and labelling. This paddock-to-glass approach ensures that every bottle reflects their dedication to quality and sustainability. By sourcing fruit exclusively from their own vineyard or local producers, Charles Reuben Estate keeps food miles low while supporting the local community.
Visitors can enjoy a boutique Tasmanian distillery experience away from Hobart’s busier venues. The estate also demonstrates its commitment to the environment with a cleverly designed storage facility—an underground concrete cube that maintains a stable, cool temperature naturally, without energy usage or emissions. This unique blend of tradition, innovation, and environmental care makes Charles Reuben Estate a must-visit destination for wine and spirit lovers.
