Taste the North West
Come hungry and leave room in your plans.
Volcanic soil, rolling farmland and crisp coastal water lay the foundations for the produce of North West Tasmania. Cheese, honey, oysters, crayfish, cider and gin all come from within a short drive of each other, and most of it is sold directly by the people who made it. The Tasting Trail ties things together, and the listing below covers the rest.

For restaurants and anything with a set lunch, yes, especially on weekends and in summer. Many cellar doors and farm gates are small and run limited hours, so check the venue’s website or ring ahead before you drive out.
It varies a lot. Cafes and pubs in the bigger towns tend to keep regular hours, while cellar doors and farm gates often shorten theirs or close for part of the week outside summer. Each listing links to the venue’s own website, which is the best place to check.
