Wine lovers' and foodies' paradise...
Launceston Tamar Valley is the state’s premiere food and wine location. Its farming culture values clean, green and genetically unmodifi ed produce, and the north east is home to Australia’s best Sparklings, zesty Rieslings, superb cool-climate Chardonnays, complex Pinot Noirs, as well as the “world’s best beer” from J Boag & Son. It’s no coincidence that Delicious magazine’s food editor, Valli Little, chose to launch her latest book, Five of the Best here (at Daniel Alps at Strathlynn). Or, that two of the state’s best providores are in Launceston. Or, that it’s home to the best restaurant in the state (The Terrace at Country Club, Winner 2007), as well as many Australian award-winning restaurants and cafés including Stillwater, Fee & Me, Elaia, Synergy, Konditorei, and Me Wah. Launceston has a healthy café culture: from outdoor eateries and a French patisserie at “the Paris end of Charles Street”, to the café and dining hub of Seaport where locals promenade in the evening. While savouring the new vintage, the Tamar Valley Wine Route (north to Rowella, east across the Batman Bridge to Pipers River, and south of Launceston to Relbia) encourages you to taste premium local fare at one of 24 cellar doors. Choose from a fi ne dining experience to a light lunch or local cheese plate. And while you’re en route, stop to pick your own fresh fruit and berries from orchards lining the valley, or visit one of many artisan galleries.
