I was made to feel so welcome walking in and the bar tender was engaging and friendly. I had a glass of sparking wine followed by a Tassie whiskey. The jazz duo added a lovely atmosphere. I especially loved the 2 comfy sofas at the front of the bar. Will be back.

We travelled to Kings to do something indoors on a (very) windy morning. The art on display is beautiful, comprising a mixture of very high standard works from in variety of medium. There are works from two timber craftsman (including huon pine works) as well as paintings and other art. The works of King himself are numerous and excellent, with birds and costal scenes his main focus. The food and coffee are delicious with a nice attention to detail evident. The surrounds are picturesque and itbis an easy venue to find. This venue is worth a visit, whether you want to combine it with a trip to the East Coast or just drop in on your way through. For lovers of beautiful art and decent coffee, it may even be worth a drive up from Hobart or down from Launceston for the day.

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!

Tasmanian Wine and Food is located in Stanley, a small picturesque village on the North West coast of Tasmania. Embracing Stanley’s historic past, Tasmanian Wine and Food have renovated a Victorian cottage in the middle of Stanley. A heavily emphasis on upcycling, recycling and repurposing, has made for an eclectic mix of materials and furnishings that make for a warm and welcoming environment. The philosophy of “Tasmanian Wine and Food” is to provide the very best produce that Tasmania has to offer. While we will have staples on the menu, such as cheese boards and tasting plates, the blackboard specials will feature the best of what Tasmania has to offer. The seasonal nature of produce means we will run black board specials constantly changing to stay in tune with the very best of produce available. Tasmania’s enjoys a global reputation as a leading producer of premium cool climate wines. We match these wines with this seasonal bounty to deliver a true taste of Tasmania.

This little wine bar is just gorgeous. When you walk in you feel you are in a quaint little Irish pub, so cosy and with intimate little corners where you can sit back and relax. A great place to meet with friends prior to going out for a meal, or if you just want a lighter meal, they have lovely platters and pizzas, as well as a great selection of Tassie wines, gins, whiskeys, craft beers etc. It really is a lovely place to go. Mike and Shelley are great hosts too.
