Tasmanian Wine and Food is located in Stanley, a small picturesque village on the North West coast of Tasmania. Embracing Stanley’s historic past, Tasmanian Wine and Food have renovated a Victorian cottage in the middle of Stanley. A heavily emphasis on upcycling, recycling and repurposing, has made for an eclectic mix of materials and furnishings that make for a warm and welcoming environment. The philosophy of “Tasmanian Wine and Food” is to provide the very best produce that Tasmania has to offer. While we will have staples on the menu, such as cheese boards and tasting plates, the blackboard specials will feature the best of what Tasmania has to offer. The seasonal nature of produce means we will run black board specials constantly changing to stay in tune with the very best of produce available. Tasmania’s enjoys a global reputation as a leading producer of premium cool climate wines. We match these wines with this seasonal bounty to deliver a true taste of Tasmania.

This little wine bar is just gorgeous. When you walk in you feel you are in a quaint little Irish pub, so cosy and with intimate little corners where you can sit back and relax. A great place to meet with friends prior to going out for a meal, or if you just want a lighter meal, they have lovely platters and pizzas, as well as a great selection of Tassie wines, gins, whiskeys, craft beers etc. It really is a lovely place to go. Mike and Shelley are great hosts too.

4.5 based on 447 reviews
Highfield Historic Site is an 1830's farm complex built by convict labor. The Van Diemen's Land Company chose to settle in the area to establish a large scale sheep grazing property. The site is open to the public and interprets the conflicts that arose with the Company's men and the Aboriginal people. The house and outbuildings are being restored by the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Service as the property had fallen into disrepair. The site is open daily from 1 September - 31 May, open weekdays from 1 June - 31 August

Do not miss this fascinating look into our Tasmanian history! The restoration is stunning, and the insights into the life and times of our early settlers and the impact on indigenous people is thought provoking to say the least.

Joe Lyons Cottage Joe Lyons Cottage was the birthplace and childhood home of Joseph Lyons, a former Premier of Tasmania (1923-1928) and Tasmania's first Prime Minister of Australia (1932-1939). This simple, single-storey weatherboard home was a humble beginning for a man who went on to become one of Australia's most popular Prime Ministers.

I must admit I did not know much about Joe Lyons so I enjoyed seeing his life story and memorabilia. Gold coin donation. Well worth it.

This was an amazing little gallery with fantastic photos by the owner of the gallery, as well as interesting pieces by other artists, like hand printed journals which were exquisite. The framed photos could only be described by me as poetic, many-layered..it is obvious the photographer is an artist. Prices for these large framed photos were excellent as well. If only I had wall space! I contented myself by buying a couple of cards with my favourite prints on them. There are larger approx. A4 size prints for sale as well. There was also wonderful stained glass “paintings” - one of a huge wave - which are fantastic. There are leather-looking recycled bags as well, the inside made from old jeans though you would never know from looking at the outside. This is one of the most interesting little galleries I have looked at.
