Tasmania is a foodie haven

One of the most exciting developments in Tasmania over the past two decades has been the rise of farm-to-fork tasting experiences, which include sparkling wine, whisky, craft beer, oysters, salmon, scallops, honey, hazelnuts, cider, truffles, cheese, gelato, and more. Even more, the island boasts a Cradle to Coast Tasting Trail that follows its northwest coast and showcases nearly 40 regional producers.

But it’s not the only trail for travelers whose favorite sense is taste. Tasmania also boasts a Cider Trail (apples are one of Tassie’s major crops), a Tasmania Beer Trail (with more than 20 breweries), a Tasmanian Whisky & Spirits Trail with almost 20 distilleries (Tasmania’s Sullivan’s Cove has won best single-malt whisky awards several times since 2014), a Tamar Valley Wine Route with 30 cellar doors (including 20 offering sparking wine) and more. Delicious dining in innovative restaurants and pubs is available throughout Tasmania, but especially in Hobart, Launceston and the Tamar Valley.
