GREAT EASTERN WINE WEEK EVENT FEATURE
Tasmania’s largest food and wine event program returns to East Coast Tasmania next month with its most impressive line up to date. Established in 2015 at Freycinet Lodge, the event has grown from strength to strength, driving visitation and stimulating the economy of the entire region. Due to phenomenal success, the initial weekend-long festival has been extended to 10 days, becoming the Great Eastern Wine Week. After two years of border restrictions impacting incoming tourism, a raft of new culinary and cultural experiences will be included as part of the 2022 edition – including the recently reinvigorated Devil’s Corner Cellar Door (recently appearing on MasterChef Australia’s ‘Tasmania Week’) and newly launched one-of-a-kind salt sommelier experience as a partnership between Tasman Sea Salt and Mayfield Estate Cellar Door. “After last year’s lockdowns closed off the region to the mainland, we couldn’t be more thrilled to welcome visitors back to the beautiful East Coast of Tasmania,” says East Coast Tasmania Tourism CEO Rhonda Taylor.
“Our annual Great Eastern Wine Week is the perfect time to visit, as the region’s best winemakers, artisans, restaurants and cafes come alive with special events and experiences rolling out across 10 days. “The week has without a doubt become one of Tasmania’s most loved events in the food, wine and travel calendar. The region is a wine and seafood lover’s paradise. “Spring is such a beautiful time of year to visit East Coast Tassie. From the well-known natural wonders of Freycinet National Park, Wineglass Bay and Bay of Fires to the more adventurous experiences of St Helens Mountain Bike Trails, the unique wukalina Walk and visiting the wombats on Maria Island, through to exploring the East Coast Wine Trail – there’s something for every type of traveller.” Returning from September 9–18 and spanning 221km of Tasmania’s pristine eastern coastline, Great Eastern Wine Week will showcase the best of the region’s culinary and cultural experiences.
