Northern Tasmania is the perfect combination of stunning landscapes, cosy retreats, and dining and drink options both small-scale and spectacular.
Tasmania’s north boasts rolling pastoral farmlands, the island’s second-largest city in Launceston, and its principal wine-producing area in the Tamar Valley. Renowned for its fertile terroir, the countryside surrounding Launceston is dotted with wineries, dairy farms, apple orchards and fisheries, and abundant opportunities for visitors to sample the goods. At the trail of cellar doors and grazing trails you’ll find a community eager to share in its natural wealth, while Launceston itself offers some of Tassie’s best bars and fine dining restaurants showcasing the region’s bountiful produce.
Beyond food lures there lies magical old-growth forests and rugged mountains providing ample opportunity for both hiking and chance encounters with wombats, wallabies, quolls and Tasmanian devils.
The area is best explored by car, and then by venturing on foot. Take it easy in an eco-lodge in the woods while sipping on cool-climate pinot noir, or hike through the alpine wilderness and watch the sunset over a fire. This region offers possibilities to unwind, let go of life’s concerns and reconnect to the natural world.
