Event Details
Come and join us for 6 days on this glorious sparkling clean green island. Tasmanian food and wine has gone to new heights and some of the big names are all dear friends so expect a wonderful journey into flavour and the ‘behind the secret door’ experience we deliver on our Gourmet Safaris.
The joy is we stay in one location right on Hobart’s beautiful waterfront. Sullivans Cove Apartments overlook the original historic sandstone IXL jam factory. Each day will be a journey of discovery to meet producers, chefs, winemakers, cheese-makers, foragers and more. We include some of the top restaurants in our itinerary as well as visits to farms and private estates. We also include a day on the ‘island off an island off an island’ – wild, beautiful Bruny Island.
You’ll have a special day of art and food and wine at MONA, taste oysters just out of the cold clear seas, swoon with chocolates and fudge, see cheese being made, have some hands-on food experiences and meet wine producers, whisky distillers, beer and cider makers. Plus enjoy Tasmanian hospitality at local markets and beyond.
Host: Maeve O’Meara
Kate B –
“I just wanted to say what a simply superb time I had on the recent trip to Tasmania. It still makes me smile every time I think about any moment of that time & I think about it a lot. I was describing those 6 days to a friend last week & I said it was like someone picked you up out of your everyday life & with a puff of fairy dust, transported you to some bucolic idyll, all of a sudden you are in the middle of a great master’s rural painting, still life or lively tavern scene. Maeve, you have a great way of seeking out life’s magic, and what is even better you share that magic with us mortals!!”

We thoroughly enjoyed all aspects of this Gourmet Safari. It was so well organised, timing, accommodation, exploration and of course the food and wine. Trips to the markets were a real experience and meeting producers who are so passionate about their work and produce as well as providing wonderful background stories so freely given. Day trips to Bruny Island, Fat Pig Farm and the Agrarian Kitchen were informative and a delight. Breakfast at Pigeon Hole Cafe and lunch at Stefano Lubiana Estate ended the food experience perfectly. Mount Field National Park walk took us back to nature and was a favourite of Ross. We truly recommend this, our second Gourmet Safari.
