Start Your Tasting Trail at Harvest Market Launceston
If your Tasting Trail adventure starts in Launceston, there’s no better way to kick things off than a Saturday morning at Harvest Market.
Every Saturday, the city-centre car park comes alive with Tasmanian growers, makers and food producers selling direct to the people who eat, drink and cook their produce. Fill your basket with seasonal fruit and vegetables, artisan bread and pastries, meat, seafood, dairy, preserves and plenty more Tasmanian goodness.
Come hungry too. Grab breakfast, pick up a locally roasted coffee and taste your way around the stalls while meeting some of the people behind Tasmania’s food and drink.
For Tasting Trailers, Harvest is a great introduction to what’s ahead. Discover producers from across Tasmania, including the North and North West, stock up for the road and get a taste for the people, produce and stories you’ll find as you travel.
Harvest Market runs every Saturday morning, rain, hail or shine, right in the heart of Launceston. Bring a bag, come hungry and leave a little room in the car – chances are you’ll find more than you planned to take with you.
