‘Taste’
– The Difference…….
‘A Taste of the Huon’,
now in its 16th year, is a celebration of fine food, wine, entertainment,
arts and crafts from the Huon Valley and Channel region –
held at Ranelagh which is only 30 minutes scenic drive south of
Hobart.
This region
produces an abundance of apples and although Tasmania is still
recognised as the ‘Apple Isle” cherries, mushrooms,
salmon, vineyards, berries and truffles are also farmed in the
area and, along with many more, promoted at the Festival.
Entertainment
is at its very best and each year there is a new programme. This
year we have one of Tasmania’s most popular groups, the
Giant Hamsters, along with buskers and other bands. Most importantly
there will be loads of attractions to keep the children occupied.
This Festival
is one of the most popular regional events in Tasmania and draws
over 20,000 local, intrastate and interstate visitors through
its 2 day programme. This event is run by a voluntary committee
with proceeds being injected back into the community via funding
of groups who volunteer on the day.
The Huon Valley,
D’entrecasteaux Channel and Bruny Island regions of Tasmania
are now being recognised as one of Tasmania’s leading tourist
destinations. Extend your stay… tell your friends that you
have experienced the exhilaration of climbing Hartz Peak or driven
to Australia’s southern most point – Cockle Creek.
Tasmania’s
renowned Huon Trail winds through this region and as such it has
become synonymous with fine food and wines which can be found
in the abundant cafes, restaurants, wineries and farms that are
scattered amongst the rolling hills and along the stunning Huon
River.
