Why Hobart’s Off Season is a Must for Foodies

Winter in Tasmania is anything but dull. The Off Season invites you to embrace the cold and discover the warmth of our food, wine, and hospitality. Picture this:

• Small-batch tastings by the fire

• Behind-the-scenes workshops with makers

• Stories, music, mulled wine, and handmade chocolate

It's the best time to explore, taste, and support local.
