Tasmania’s wild east coast is home to one-of-a-kind foodie experiences. Tour the world-first, clean-energy salt harvesting process at Tasman Sea Salt, then taste the range of pure salt flakes atop fine local produce. Continue your gourmand adventures by watching the Pyengana Dairy cheese masters at work. You’ll peer into the cheese cellar, meet the dairy cows grazing in the fields and enjoy a platter of local specialties on the scenic deck. Be sure to sample the cloth-matured farmhouse cheddar – it’s something special.
Savour wine and oysters with a view
Savour wine and oysters with a view
A landscape both beautiful and challenging – it takes tenacity to grow wine in Tasmania’s most secluded corners. But the team at Devil’s Corner Winery turn the challenge into truly exceptional wine. Delve into the wildness of your surroundings as you shuck fresh oysters, tour the vineyards and enjoy a lunch in the underground cellar. You can even add a helicopter experience to take in the beauty of the sea and mountains from the sky.
Rest, roam and reconnect

The farm at Martha Vale Park, on the banks of the George River, has been in operation since 1852. Spend the night in the lovingly transformed, century-old stables to soak in the history. Come morning, pick vegetables from the garden and cook up fresh eggs before heading on a tour of the family-run property, which today is a thriving ecosystem of regenerative farming. While wandering, keep an eye out for the endangered Davies Wax Flower that is known to grow here.
