Bruny Island, Tasmania

Experience some of the finest produce the Apple Isle has to offer on a culinary road trip across this picturesque little island.

To Australians, Tasmania’s very name conjures up images of farmers’ markets, cool−climate wines and succulent seafood. Some of the best produce is hidden away off Tassie’s southeast coast, on Bruny Island. Against this backdrop of abundant wildlife, Bruny’s produce benefits from clear waters and fertile soil. Large, meaty oysters are farmed in the D’Entrecasteaux Channel. On land, one−of−a−kind cheeses are matured, fruity chardonnays are bottled, and bees are sent out to work collecting nectar. Producers are few and standards are high, meaning a gourmet road trip of the island has an exclusive, boutique feel – if you mention the cheese place or the winery, locals will know exactly where you mean.
