“Must Do Experiences”

It’s no secret that Tasmania is a food lover’s heaven. Take a look at some of our top mini-adventures that we think you ought to consider when ticking the ‘Tassie foodie experience’ box.

 

“Paddock to Plate Tasmanian style at Fat Pig Farm & Agrarian Kitchen”

Do you really want to experience the low food mile lifestyle that Tasmania is famous for? Then you need to check out Gourmet Farmer Mathew Evan’s, Fat Pig Farm as well as the Agrarian Kitchen. Both offering authentic and uniquely Tasmanian paddock to plate experiences that are sure to be the talk of the group.

Go to the Fat Pig Farm for a perfect leisurely afternoon, while sitting at a long table in their country farm kitchen. They will serve you multiple dishes straight from their own gardens and paddock. Be prepared for a long lazy afternoon, giving your delegates the chance to feast, unwind and get to know each other more.

If you’re wanting to get more of a hands-on experience then look no further than the Agrarian Kitchen Cooking School & Farm. The day begins with gumboots and foraging in their garden for the ripest fruit and vegetables. Once the collection of all the delicious produce is done, you continue to their kitchen for preparation and cooking. Then it’s feast time! You will learn amazing farm picking and cooking techniques at the Agrarian Kitchen. Your delegates will thank you. Now that’s one way to inspire and reward without the need for high adrenalin levels! Located 45 min drive north-west of Hobart in New Norfolk.

 

“Enjoy a cruisy time and eat your way around Bruny Island”

Off the south East Coast of Tasmania, you will find Bruny Island.

You’ve heard of progressive dinner… well, this is a progressive day of feasting. With freshly picked berries, handmade chocolate and fudge, some of the best cheeses our island state has to offer and oysters freshly shucked as you watch, how can you go wrong?

Of course, you’ll need something to wash down all that food. That’s where Bruny Island Premium wines and the Bruny Island House of Whiskey comes in, to help round off your day of indulgence.

To best experience Bruny Island in all its glory, then look no further than Pennicott Wilderness Cruises. No other tourist experience on offer quite captures the essence of this island like Pennicott. The magic of cruising is that it will allow your delegates to view the essence of Bruny up close and personal, enabling them to explore our iconic, rugged coastlines and seascapes that we are known for. If you’re going to take your delegates to Bruny then do it in style!

 

 “A taste of the Huon at Willie Smith’s Apple Shed”

Tasmania is known around the world as the “Apple Isle” and with good reason. Located on the side of the road in the beautiful Huon Valley, you will see an old rustic barn. Yes, looks can be deceiving, but Willie Smith’s Apple Shed is a little Tasmanian gem. You could spend nearly half the day exploring the property and sampling some of the best organic cider you will ever taste.

Need to fire up that competitive spirit in the group? Why not try your hand at an old fashioned bake-off, and enter into their pie-making competition. And yes, your delegates will get to enjoy the fruits of their labour as they enjoy the pies later. Once you’ve done with all the activities, you then can unwind and enjoy a delicious range of snack and light meals including chicken liver & apple blanco pate, smoked ham & wicked smoked cheddar toasties, as well as Tassie seafood and cheese platter.

We don’t blame you.  Willie Smiths can also play host to your social function.  Your delegates can lounge on the lawn whilst enjoying some of the freshest air in the world and feasting on the best Tasmanian produce available.  Definitely a venue with a difference that is sure to impress.
