Tamar Valley

Welcome to the Tamar Valley 

In one of Tasmania’s most beautiful corners, the Tamar Valley is a true food lover’s paradise. With over 60 passionate food producers — from gourmet outlets and local farm gates to charming retail shopfronts and bustling wholesalers — there’s something here to delight every palate.

And it doesn’t stop there. Whether you’re craving a flaky pastry from a country bakery, a long lunch at a cosy café, or a tasting paddle at a family-run brewery, the Valley is brimming with places that showcase Tasmania’s finest produce.

Here, you’ll find hospitality as warm as the wood-fired ovens — where chefs are more than happy to tell you the story behind each ingredient, and producers greet you like old friends at the farm gate. One of the true joys of exploring the Tamar is not just the incredible food and drink, but the people behind it — friendly faces who are proud to share what they’ve lovingly grown, crafted, brewed or baked.

The Valley does the finer things beautifully — think escargot, feijoas, abalone, honey, cherries, free-range pork, ocean-fresh salmon, cold-pressed olive oil, earthy black truffles and crisp, aromatic Arneis. Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of them all — half the fun is in the discovery! You might even get to meet the truffle-hunting dog before sampling the farm’s rich, house-made black truffle ice cream.

Wander through a landscape where vineyards nestle beside apple orchards, rolling pastures and native forests, all traced by the serene Tamar River/kanamaluka. 

The famous Tamar Valley Wine Route features more than 30 vineyards and cellar doors in one of the world’s most celebrated cool climate wine regions.

And it’s not just about wine — the Tamar is also home to award-winning distilleries and craft breweries, perfect for those keen to sip and savour the region’s best spirits and brews.
