Pickled Onions, Vineyard Views & Local Flavours near Ulverstone
Yes, there really is a place dedicated to pickled onions – and it’s well worth the stop. Tasmanian Pickled Onions at Westella is a family-owned producer turning locally grown onions into crunchy, traditional pickled favourites right here in North West Tasmania.
The onions are grown on selected Tasmanian farms, then carefully hand-trimmed, brined, spiced and bottled onsite. Drop in for a tasting and try the classic pickled onions alongside flavours including Chilli and Pepperberry, then browse the Pickled Pantry for plenty more local goodies to take home.
But don’t rush off. The property is also home to Windows on Westella, a fully licensed cafe nestled amongst the vines of Broad Acres Vineyard. Settle in for breakfast or lunch, with a seasonal all-day menu showcasing Tasmanian produce – and, of course, a few clever appearances from their famous pickled onions.
You can also taste the cool-climate wines of Broad Acres Vineyard, grown right outside the cafe. Pinot Noir, Pinot Gris, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling are all grown on the property, making it very easy to turn an onion tasting into a long lunch and a glass of local wine.
