This tour is truly a scenic delight and a must for all food lovers! It passes through the picture postcard villages of Westbury and Deloraine en route to the Melita Honey Farm in the small rural village of Chudleigh.

The Melita Honey Farm is a specialised retailer of honey and honey related products, including Active Manuka Honey. Here you can see bees at work and sample over 50 different natural varieties of honey.

There is some world class produce available all through this area. We drop in at Tasmanian Pure Continental Smallgoods, one of Tasmania’s most awarded smallgoods producers. Taste the international gold medal winning Salami! (We will not tell you what it is made out of. You will need to taste it to find out!) There is also the opportunity to purchase products at wholesale prices.

Our next stop is 41 degrees South Salmon Farm and Eco Experience. Taste or purchase what is arguably the best smoked salmon in Tasmania and associated salmon products. You can take a self- guided tour of the fresh water salmon ponds and the ginseng fields or take a walk along the boardwalk through the farm’s wetlands.

After this we travel to the Christmas Hills Raspberry Farm. This is one place where you can taste and buy some truly delectable wholesome country style food. You can relax and purchase your lunch and indulge in some of their delicious raspberry products, such as chocolate dipped raspberries, or rich creamy raspberry ice cream.

To further the gourmet food experience, we drop in at the award winning Ashgrove Cheese Farm. Here you can taste unique cheeses with great flavours, including the famous Wild Wasabi cheese, all made with local ingredients. You can also view the cheese making and purchase a large range of other gourmet food and wine products from the Ashgrove Shop.

Gourmet food is not complete without truly delicious chocolate! House of Anvers, the total chocolate experience is a gastronomic delight. When you visit the House of Anvers you can see the qualified confectionery staff tempering, moulding and enrobing fine couverture chocolates, truffles, fudges and more. There are many samples for tasting and also available for purchase.
