Top Spots for Food and Wine in Tasmania
Tasmania is a food and wine lover’s paradise. From fresh seafood to world-class cool-climate wines, artisan cheeses to craft beer, the Apple Isle has it all. And what better way to explore it than in your own motorhome?
With its scenic roads, beautiful coastline and friendly producers, Tasmania is perfect for a slow-paced food and wine road trip. Here are some of the top spots to add to your itinerary.
TAMAR VALLEY
Just a short drive north of Launceston, the Tamar Valley is one of Tasmania’s premier wine regions. The Tamar River winds through rolling hills dotted with vineyards, cellar doors and restaurants. Stop in at Tamar Ridge, Josef Chromy or Goaty Hills for tastings, or enjoy a long lunch with vineyard views.
BRUNY ISLAND
A short ferry ride from Kettering, Bruny Island is a must for foodies. Sample fresh oysters at Get Shucked, cheese at Bruny Island Cheese Company, and chocolate at the Bruny Island Chocolate Factory. The island also produces excellent honey, whisky and gin. There are several RV-friendly spots to stay while you explore.
HUON VALLEY
South of Hobart, the Huon Valley is famous for its apples, cider, and stunning scenery. Visit Willie Smith’s Cider for tastings and wood-fired pizza, or explore the roadside stalls and farm gates for fresh produce. The valley is also home to some excellent wineries and is a beautiful drive in your motorhome.
FREYCINET PENINSULA
On the east coast, Freycinet is famous for its wines and seafood. Stop at Freycinet Vineyard for tastings with views of the Hazards, or enjoy fresh crayfish and abalone at local restaurants. The area is perfect for combining great food and wine with stunning coastal walks.
HOBART AND SURROUNDS
Hobart’s Salamanca Market is a weekend highlight for fresh produce, baked goods and local crafts. Nearby, the MONA museum has excellent dining options, and the Cascade Brewery offers tours and tastings. Don’t miss the coal-fired bakery at Pigeon Whole or the award-winning restaurants in the city.
NORTHWEST COAST
The northwest offers excellent seafood and dairy. Visit King Island for world-famous cheese and beef, or explore the farms around Devonport and Burnie. Many producers welcome visitors and offer tastings and farm tours.
