Farming & Innovation in Tasmania 2025

Tour Details

Tasmania in Autumn is one of the best seasons to visit the “Apple Isle”; the days are still warm and the deciduous trees are turning, providing a colourful backdrop to a fascinating look at life in Australia’s most southerly state.

Meet inspiring families in a diverse range of innovative agricultural and horticultural enterprises. Enjoy sampling fresh regional produce from the land and the sea and visit some of the vineyards and distilleries that define the entrepreneurial spirit of Tasmania. Visit historic Highfield – the start of agriculture and one of the earliest houses in northwest Tasmania. Down south, wander among the stalls of the makers, growers and producers at the popular Salamanca Market, before experiencing Tasmania’s rich convict heritage at Port Arthur.  With traditional livestock operations, plus whisky, wine and oysters, bulbs and timber, this tour offers a glimpse into an island state really pushing the boundaries in every way.

The tour of the Perth area and southern Africa with your company has been another great life experience  for Dale and myself. As repeat clients we appreciate the professionalism you provide, the exciting and varied itinerary, good accommodation, transport, and excellent, well informed guides. Meeting the farmers, local villagers, and of course the amazing amount of wildlife were just some of the highlights. Having a feeling of being secure and safe helped us enjoy the tour to its utmost. Thanks Ron & Monyeen.
