JOIN US!
Join us on a tour of the picturesque Huon Valley, the home of apple farming in Tasmania. Our tour bus will take you into the heart of the Huon to sample a variety of French style ciders and brandies, then further downriver for a selection of fruit blend ciders. Once the tastings there are complete, we’ll move across to the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, overlooking Bruny Island, to visit a sheep milk dairy, that has transformed into a gin distillery in the pursuit of sustainability and a husband and wife run whisky distillery in a renovated garage.
