When you embark on the Great Eastern Drive, you’ll need to come with an appetite. This journey will lead you to many of Tasmania’s most delicious experiences in some of its most beautiful locations.

The East Coast’s mild climate creates perfect growing conditions for the state’s premium fresh produce, from sweet berries and nuts to fine cool climate wines, award-winning cheeses and the freshest seafood imaginable. The region has long attracted passionate growers, producers, winemakers, cheesemakers and chefs, whose creations are just waiting for you to try. Take a weekend, a few days or longer to explore, feast and wander.

Wine

The East Coast Wine Trail is a collection of 14 vineyards and cellar doors, stretching along the pristine beaches and native bushland of Tasmania’s stunning East Coast. Our region is abundant with incredible food and wine. We welcome you to our cellar doors, to share our tables, meet our families and raise a glass to a shared and rich journey of discovery.
