Eating Out

Tasmania's climate, fertile soils, and pristine waters make it a paradise for fresh, high-quality produce. The island is famous for its fruit, which has earned it the nickname 'Apple Isle', as well as vegetables, honey, black truffles, saffron, boutique cheeses, and olive oil. Seafood is exceptional, particularly farmed Atlantic salmon. The cool climate also produces outstanding wines, including sparkling wine, Pinot Noir, Riesling, Chardonnay, and Sauvignon Blanc, with some vineyards just a short drive from Hobart.

Once known for its British-influenced cuisine, Tasmania has embraced Modern Australian dining, quickly earning a reputation as a top foodie destination. For hands-on experience, visitors can book popular cooking classes at Rodney Dunn's The Agrarian Kitchen. Planning ahead is recommended.
