Tasmania Culinary Tour & Lunch

Tasmania Culinary

Take the ultimate Tasmanian culinary tour where you’ll sample truffles, honey, chocolate, wines, and enjoy a gourmet lunch.

Head out over Tasmania’s beautiful north coast to a truffle farm to learn about how truffles were first grown in Australia while sampling local truffle products. You’ll then go to a honey farm to see local bees at work (from behind safety glass) and find out the secrets of their hives. Lunch will be served at a local vineyard where you can sample different wine blends, followed by dessert in a chocolate factory that produces handmade cakes, pralines, liqueurs and more sweet delights.
