A line tells a story
With no clear brief or logic needing to underpin the artwork beyond its need to contribute to a memorable visitor experience, TERROIR chose to formalise the wine trail concept as a trail through the landscape. The significance of this is embedded not just in the practice through its naming – TERROIR – but has specific resonance with Stefano Lubiana who moved to Tasmania from Europe to make wines on this specific site. The line zig-zags through the trees either side of the road, a three-kilometre trail of orange tape that meets the scale of the landscape in which its sits.

This project contains the seeds of much of the practice work in the following decades. Commissioned as an artwork for a two-day ‘wine trail’ event involving many of southern Tasmania’s premium wineries – Stefano Lubiana - the project was unburdened by any program, budget or material requirements, the project was conceived as a 1:1 sketch in the landscape.
