Glengarry: Alpacas, Wine and Unique Farm Experiences

Glengarry in the West Tamar region is best experienced through hands-on farm activities: one farm offers alpaca tours, a vineyard combines estate-grown grapes with a collector’s garden, and a homestead complements its accommodation with cooking workshops. There is also a seasonal Christmas tree sale and a walking track nearby. The offerings have different focuses—from animals and wine to hands-on cooking and a walk.

Alpaca Tours and Seasonal Christmas Tree Sale

Yimarra Farm offers alpaca tours in Glengarry. This makes an animal-focused tour one of the specific experiences you can consider when planning your trip. Another option is Killiecrankie Farm, established in 2007 as Tasmania’s first cut-your-own Christmas tree farm. Christmas trees are sold each year on a small number of selected weekends, from the last weekend in November to mid-December. A time slot pass is required for entry and can be booked online through Eventbrite.

The limited dates make the Christmas tree sale a seasonal experience for which your travel dates are especially important. As of 27 August 2026, the exact dates and prices for 2026 had not yet been published. Check the latest dates and book your time slot pass before travelling. This helps distinguish the visit from activities where the time of year does not determine the stated period in the same way.

Wine, Gardens and Food

At Grey Sands Vineyard, all the grapes used to make the wines come from its own vineyard. The winery also has a two-hectare collector’s garden that serves as its cellar door. Visits to the cellar door are available by appointment. This is an important condition to factor into your plans and sets it apart from the other food-related offerings in the area.

Tasmanian produce platters are also available at Grey Sands Vineyard with 48 hours’ notice. So, you’ll need to make an appointment to visit the cellar door, while produce platters require 48 hours’ notice. Both details can help you plan if you’d like to include wine and local produce in your trip.

ForknFarm Homestead also offers hands-on cooking workshops, including cheese-making, sausage-making and sourdough workshops. Each focuses on a different topic—from cheese and sausages to sourdough. Glengarry’s food experiences range from visiting a cellar door and enjoying produce platters to workshops focused on a variety of food-related topics.

Walking Track Nearby

If you’d like to include a walk alongside the farm experiences, Notley Gorge Walking Track is located near Glengarry. The 1.4-kilometre track is in Notley Gorge State Reserve, between Glengarry and Bridgenorth. It offers a different kind of outing from the activities at the farms and vineyard, with a named walking track in a protected area as its focus.

Accommodation and Trip Planning

ForknFarm Homestead offers accommodation on its property in Glengarry. The 24-acre property offers panoramic views of the West Tamar wine region. If views of the wine region are important when choosing where to stay, the homestead is a specific accommodation option to consider. You can think of accommodation and activities as two separate decisions: what kind of stay you’re looking for is one question, and which tours, workshops or seasonal activities to include is another.

Glengarry’s different highlights can help guide your accommodation search. Wine and gardens, cooking workshops, alpaca tours, the limited-time Christmas tree sale and the walking track each appeal to different interests. Consider what matters most to your trip and take it into account when choosing where to stay. For seasonal dates and visits that are explicitly subject to conditions, it’s worth checking the relevant details before travelling.
