Tasmanian Truffles & Whiskey Adventure
Take a journey through the wild areas of Tasmania to sample truffle pizza and local wines, then onto a whiskey distillery.
Enjoy the views of Tasmania’s forests and foothills on your drive to The Needles — a range of protruding mountain spires, where you’ll begin your adventure into the heart (and art) of truffle cultivation. Learn all about these gourmet fungi goodies, meet the dogs who hunt for them, then sample a truffle pizza, and wine. You’ll then get to visit a whiskey distillery — where myth, determination, and the unique landscape offer one of the most unique blends in the world.
