Southern Tasmania is a wonderland for food lovers all year round, but winter? That’s when things get really interesting. Think pinot noir by the fire, freshly shucked oysters on a brisk coastal afternoon, and woodfired everything—pizza, bread, and open-flame feasts that warm you from the inside out.
In Hobart, waterfront icons like Mures Tasmania are dishing up local seafood that’s as fresh as the breeze off the Derwent. Down in the Huon and Coal River Valley’s, cider and wine makers and are hosting cosy tastings and paddock-to-plate lunches that double as edible storytelling.

Pearl + Co’s cocktail game is strong, the wine list features standout Tasmanian drops, and the view—well, let’s just say it’s the kind you’ll want to toast to.

Pair it with a glass of Greek wine (or something local) and you’ve got yourself a winter feast fit for the gods.
