A lovely little Vineyard and a big welcome. The wines were a delight and we left with enough wine for the rest of our visit to Tassie - delicious!

Craigie Knowe Vineyard

Relax in the beautiful surroundings and enjoy a wine with cheese board, gourmet vineyard plate or chocolate and wine experience. Craigie Knowe is the perfect place for a warm, welcoming experience where you will taste our lovely wines in the original old winery and be comfortable to ask any questions. Vineyard tours also available - please see website for details. Craigie Knowe is the oldest vineyard on the east coast of Tasmania and produces beautiful cool climate wines; Cabernet Sauvignon, a bold Pinot Noir and Riesling, and from our other younger vineyard, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. When things allow, come in and let us look after you.

If you haven't heard of Craigieknowe it's probably because it's a little bit off the main road. But that's no reason to pass it by. In fact if you do you have missed out on a great experience. Glenn the owner is full of information and enthusiasm about his vineyard and wines which makes the vidit all the more enjoyable. We were a group of 12 and he catered for us really well (11 bottles of white and 2 reds!) while serving a constant stream of customers. We coupled the wine with their gourmet platters which featured cheese, meats and smoked salmon and various pastes and jams all local produce. Don't miss this East Coast secret (if in fact it is a secret).

Denison Beach

Reviewed By tanyap925 - Launceston, Australia

A secluded beach and great for kids and adults alike . kids had fun building sandcastles and sand sculptures and paddle in the water. 3 different entrance points to this long beach and good parking. Great to relax and wash away the worries of the world as you link with nature. A must visit if in Bicheno

The Farm Shed East Coast Wine Centre

The Farm Shed East Coast Wine Centre is THE place to experience Tasmania's East Coast wines, and combines wine bar, tastings and sales with original art and design. Come in for guided tastings of wines from all East Coast region vineyards and Tasmanian whiskies and gins, as well as the ever-changing art and artisanal craft gallery.

The Farm Shed, Bicheno. Just north of Wineglass Bay (Freycinet Peninsula), the small seaside town of Bicheno is mostly known for attractions such as: the blowhole, penguins and gorgeous orange lichen- covered rocks. Popping into the post-office was when I stumbled across the town’s hidden gem: ‘The Farm Shed’. AKA the ‘East Coast Wine Centre’, The Farm Shed is an ambient wooden building that offers delicious wine, gin, beer, cider and whiskey tastings (all sourced from local/regional vineyards). In addition, this unique hub showcases a range of tastefully hand-picked Tassie art and design products. I sat down to a platter of warm olives, mixed nuts and local snacks (all complimentary). During my ‘tasting’ session that afternoon, I got to meet the fun, passionate gals behind the business. Subi and Helen really know: their products, the history of the area and also (I was chuffed to find) , have direct contact with the families and East-Coast businesses who produce the wares available. As I left with a smile on my face (and a selection of vino for my adventures), I noted the tables on either side of me were placing large orders – to be delivered to their respective and far flung homes. All in all, a brilliant set-up, delightful owners and a local business definitely worth supporting. One of my highlights of Tassie. Cheers!

Pop into our quirky green weatherboard tasting room ( Halliday 5* Winery) to taste our award winning wines. Home to our triple trophy winning, iconic Constable Amos Pinot Noir, exclusive access to the new Black Label Estate Range and ofcourse our delicious easy drinking White Label wines .We offer 2 levels of wine tasting a White Label Flight or the Black Label Estate Flight. The best way to work out your new favourite Gala Estate wine. As we are a seventh generation sheep farm we also produce beautiful Super Fine Sheep Skins and Merino woollen throws weaved here in Tasmania. Great for birth gifts or a truly authentic Tasmanian gift. See you there!

The wine cellar may be more than 100 years old but the wines are definitely modern. We love pinot but it is hard to find a good one at a reasonable price . The pinots here are pricey but well worth the cost. There are several wine tasting options at different prices but the money is refunded if you buy. As well as the excellent pinots I really liked the riesling. I am a riesling fan from way back. A pleasant and knowledgable host made the experience very enjoyable.

Best to arrive in the afternoon, when high tide is in and the swell is big, as you wlll get the best photos. You will need to wait to get the great picture , and have your camera ready and keep it ready as you need to get the picture.

Cape Tourville Lighthouse

Reviewed By Sonja2020 - Brisbane, Australia

The short walk around the point and up to the lighthouse provided wonderful views across the ocean and also across to the mountains and bays in the National Park. The road up to the lighthouse is quite steep in parts. But the walk from the car park is relatively easy and takes you around the edges.

We had a fantastic lunch at Mel’s Kitchen, at Springvale. The scallops, squid, pork ribs and hazelnut gateau were all outstanding. A nice 2018 Springvale Sauvignon Blanc to go with it, and a bottle of summer cup gin to take home. Highly recommended, but book as it is very busy.

Devil's Corner Cellar Door

Reviewed By GeckO591

Always like stopping here. After getting a very good coffee (best I had in Tassie), next it was time for some excellent oysters and mussels from "The Fishers" (from Freycinet Marine Farm) with a glass of wine from the Devil's Corner people. After this it was time for some delectable wood fired pizzas, again from the cafe. Unfortunately there wasn't any room left for ice cream! The wine tasting is very good too.
