Overview

Autumn is one of the best seasons to visit the “Apple Isle”; the days are still warm and the deciduous trees are starting to turn providing a colourful backdrop to a fascinating look at life in Australia’s most southerly state.   You’ll meet inspiring families in a diverse range of innovative agricultural and horticultural enterprises and visit some of the vineyards and distilleries that define the entrepreneurial spirit of Tasmania.  In the north, visit historic Highfield – the start of agriculture and one of the earliest houses in northwest Tasmania. Down south, wander among the stalls of the makers, growers and producers at the popular Salamanca Market, before experiencing Tasmania’s rich convict heritage at Port Arthur.  With traditional livestock operations, plus whisky, wine and oysters, bulbs and timber and the opportunity to sample fresh regional produce from the land and the sea, this tour offers a glimpse into an island state really pushing the boundaries in every way.
