The D’Entrecasteaux Channel (known simply as ‘The Channel region’ by locals) and Huon Valley is home to hundreds of small, diverse farms. Ranging from cheese, to spirits, artist studios, cider, even wooden boat cruises. We will visit the many passionate people behind some of the best food and beverages in the southern region of Tasmania. We design this day around specific guests interests, needs, dietary requests, flavours and tastes, for that season. So the itinerary is just a suggestion and this will depend on season that is booked. This tour allows guests to experience the diverse, fresh produce on any given season of the year.

Depending on guests preferences and the timing of your visit, we will assemble an itinerary that explores the best of what the Huon Valley and Channel region has to offer. Amongst the orchards, cheese factories and wineries there are artist studios, local markets and many other activities, for the creative and curious. Not to mention a private cruise down the Huon River with a glass of local Pinot Noir. A visit to the Australian Wooden Boat Centre, or a visit to Frank’s Cider or Willie Smiths for their cider and distilled apple spirits, may sit amongst your customised experience.
