North West

Tasmania, Australia

Overview

Abundant produce, clever makers and epic wilderness – a journey in the north west is a feast for the senses. Eat up. Follow your food from paddock to plate (or glass) while meeting the farmers, makers, distillers and beekeepers along the way. Get wild. Explore rugged coastlines, ancient rainforests, tranquil rivers and mysterious caves. Stand on a clifftop and feel the force of the Roaring Forties. Breathe deep. This is the cleanest air in the world.

The north west delivers the ultimate paddock-to-plate experience. Meet the producers on the Tasting Trail and try local berries, hazelnuts, cheese, chocolate, craft beer and wine. Hunt for truffles. Eat seafood straight off the boats. Tuck into a succulent steak. Taste honey from the hives in takayna / Tarkine.
