What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Hobart hotel in the morning (confirm your location beforehand, as some hotels require alternative pickup points due to access restrictions). The day is structured around a series of stops at artisan food and drink producers interspersed with scenic viewing points. Expect to spend time tasting products at each venue, walking through gardens or short rainforest sections, and pausing at beaches and historic lookouts to take in island views.
Lunch is served mid-day at Pennicott's restaurant on the waterfront. The final hours involve a mix of remaining tastings and scenic exploration before the return drive to Hobart. Throughout, your guide will provide context on the island's heritage and producers. The tour operates rain or shine, so bring appropriate clothing.
