Stanley Wine Bar has won three awards at the 2026 Tasmanian Wine List of the Year Awards including the Overall Judges’ Choice Best Tasmanian Wine List of the Year.
Located in the small town of Stanley in the north-west of the island – population 595 – the bar also won Best Small Bar Wine List and the People’s Choice Award.
Presented by Wine Tasmania, the annual awards recognise the restaurants, bars and hospitality venues going above and beyond to showcase the quality, diversity and downright deliciousness of Tasmanian wine.
Wine Tasmania CEO Sheralee Davies said, “On behalf of our talented wine producers, we are thrilled to recognise the legendary support of venues for our local wines.
“From small to large, from regional and major towns right around the island, this year has seen some incredible wine lists and efforts to champion our local wines.
“We know people are increasingly travelling to Tasmania to explore our wonderful wines and visit our regional cellar doors.
“We want visitors and locals alike to enjoy the quality and diversity of Tassie wine when they sit down at a restaurant, pull up a stool at a bar, ask for a recommendation or the stories behind the wines.”
This year’s awards were assessed by Curly Haslam-Coates of Vintage Tasmania, wine communicator Cassandra Camerer-Charlick and wine journalist Nola James, alongside Wine Tasmania.
Coinciding with the announcement of the 2026 Tasmanian Wine List of the Year Awards, Wine Tasmania has unveiled its new 2027 Tasmanian Wine Trails Guide.
