Stay a Little Longer
Stay a Little Longer on the Tasting Trail
The Tasting Trail is made for slowing down. Stay a night or two, unpack once and use your accommodation as a base for exploring local producers, farm gates, cellar doors and Mini Trails across North West Tasmania.
Choose a waterfront hotel in Devonport, a vineyard or farm stay in the countryside, or base yourself in Stanley and taste your way through the far North West. Wherever you stay, there’s plenty worth putting on the itinerary nearby.
Pick a place that suits the way you travel, then head out for long lunches, local tastings, markets, coastal stops and a few delicious detours along the way.
