Tasmania.
Where amazing begins.
Beautiful scenery, world class golf courses and amazing food & wine… What more could you ask for?
The southern-most state of Australia known for it’s rugged beauty, pristine waters, exquisite wine and produce and world-class golf courses, Tasmania is in a class of its own when it comes to holiday destinations.
Golf paradise.
With scenic views guaranteed and some of the country’s best and quirkiest courses, you’ll find Tasmania a great place to swing a club. Tasmania is home to two of the World’s Top 100 Golf Courses – Barnbougle Dunes and Barnbougle Lost Farm!
Barnbougle Lost Farm
Next door is Barnbougle Lost Farm, a quirky 20 hole course with greens dispersed amongst the dunes and along the coastline. The course offers an exciting challenge for golfers of all abilities.
Tasmania’s newest courses are Cape Wickham and Ocean Dunes, both on King Island and both spectacular ocean-side courses designed in the true Scottish links tradition.
Barnbougle Dunes
A traditional links course, Barnbougle Dunes on Tasmania’s north coast was built in the Scottish style with fairways overlooking Bass Strait. Ranked as Australia’s number 1 public golf course, the breathtaking landscape mirrors the wild coastal links courses of Scotland and Ireland.
Tasmania's wine region
Elegant cool climate wines.
Tasmania’s naturally elegant wines are made from grapes grown in climates similar to those of the famous European wines – with mild summers and long autumn days that ripen the grapes providing elegance and intensity of flavour. This unique island state now produces elegant cool climate wines such as Pinot Noir, sparkling wines, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Pinot Gris.
Internationally renowned.
Tasmania enjoys a national and international reputation as a leading producer of some of Australia’s premium wines, with its Pinot Noir and sparkling wines in particular winning high praise and plenty of trophies from wine judges and critics alike.
Spectacular
fresh produce
More than just fruit from the Apple Isle.
One of the many things I appreciate about Tasmania is the quality of its fresh produce. You would expect a place known as “the Apple Isle” to produce fruit in abundance, and Tasmania does that. However, small-scale, boutique-style farmers now produce a lot more than fruit.
Fresh ingredients from Tasmania satisfy demand from interstate and international restaurants, and also from the local market. Within one generation, Tasmanians have only transitioned from the traditional British “meat-and-two-veg” school of cooking to discover and enthusiastically embrace Modern Australian cuisine.
The change, to what is now a strong food and wine culture with an emphasis on a wide variety of simply-prepared, fresh ingredients, has mainly come about through migrants from mainland Australia and overseas introducing fresh ideas and culinary concepts.
