Frogmore Creek Cellar Door & Restaurant — Quick Take
Frogmore Creek sits at 699 Richmond Rd, Cambridge TAS 7170 — about 15 minutes from Hobart's CBD , making it one of the most accessible winery dining experiences in southern Tasmania. If you're an explorer who wants estate wine alongside food in a working vineyard setting, this is worth the drive. If you want a late dinner in the city, look elsewhere: cellar door venues in this region typically wrap service well before 9 PM, so treat this as a daytime or early-evening destination and plan accordingly.
The appeal here is the combination of place and provenance. Frogmore Creek is an established Coal River Valley producer, a cool-climate wine region that has built a reputation for aromatic whites and méthode traditionnelle sparkling wines. For a food-and-wine explorer, that context matters: tasting estate wines at the source, where the winemaking team is on site and the vineyard is visible, delivers a different level of engagement than ordering the same bottles in a city restaurant. The cellar door format means you are almost certainly going to taste before you commit, which is the right way to approach this category.
On the food side, the restaurant component positions Frogmore Creek beyond a pure tasting-room experience. The Coal River Valley has a short, productive growing season , late summer through autumn is when the region is most alive, and visiting now aligns with that energy. Specific menu details and current hours are not confirmed in our data, so contact the venue directly before planning a visit, particularly if you are travelling a distance or booking for a group.
Booking here is easy by winery-restaurant standards. This is not a venue where you need to plan months ahead the way you would for Brae in Birregurra or Attica in Melbourne. For the broader Tasmania and Australian cellar-door category, Hentley Farm in Seppeltsfield and Laura at Pt Leo Estate in Merricks set the benchmark for estate dining done at a very high level , Frogmore Creek is operating in a similar format, though confirmed award credentials are not currently in our data set.
For those building a Hobart-area itinerary, pair this with our Cambridge wineries guide and Cambridge restaurants guide to fill out the day. If you want the late-night option in Cambridge proper, check our Cambridge bars guide , Frogmore Creek is not that venue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can Frogmore Creek Cellar Door & Restaurant accommodate groups?
Frogmore Creek at 699 Richmond Rd is a working winery with cellar door and restaurant space, which typically supports groups better than city restaurants of similar style. Contact them directly to confirm capacity and whether a set menu applies for larger parties. For groups of 6 or more, booking well ahead is advisable given the venue draws visitors from across greater Hobart.
Does Frogmore Creek Cellar Door & Restaurant handle dietary restrictions?
Wine-focused restaurants in Tasmania routinely accommodate dietary needs, and a cellar door setting with a focused kitchen typically gives the team room to adapt. Notify them at the time of booking rather than on arrival. This is especially worth doing if your group has multiple restrictions, as the menu format may be tasting-style with limited substitution flexibility.
What should a first-timer know about Frogmore Creek Cellar Door & Restaurant?
It sits at 699 Richmond Rd, Cambridge, roughly 15 minutes from Hobart's CBD, making it one of the most accessible winery dining options in the state. Come for both the wine and the food rather than treating it purely as a tasting stop. Arrive with time to explore the cellar door before or after eating, and plan for a relaxed pace rather than a quick turnaround.
What are alternatives to Frogmore Creek Cellar Door & Restaurant in Cambridge?
For city dining in Cambridge or greater Hobart, Toscannini's offers a more urban Italian alternative, while Hi Rise provides a different format and price point closer to Hobart's centre. Frogmore Creek's specific appeal is the winery setting and estate wine pairing, which none of the city alternatives replicate. If the cellar door experience is not the draw, a city restaurant will likely suit you better.
Is Frogmore Creek Cellar Door & Restaurant good for a special occasion?
Yes, particularly for occasions where the setting and wine program matter as much as the food. A winery at Cambridge, 15 minutes from Hobart, with estate wines and a restaurant on site, provides the kind of occasion-ready context that generic city venues cannot match. Book ahead and let them know the occasion so the team can plan accordingly.
What should I order at Frogmore Creek Cellar Door & Restaurant?
The estate wines are the anchor here and should be central to how you eat, so let the wine list drive your food choices rather than the other way around. Frogmore Creek is known as a serious Tasmanian producer, so prioritise the wines you cannot easily find off-site. For food, ask the team on the day what is running from local Tasmanian produce, as the kitchen's strength is typically tied to regional sourcing.
