The 2016 Taste of the Huon promises to deliver express to your taste buds, the pure sensation of the fusion between fresh local produce, seafood straight from the ocean, gourmet meats, award winning cheeses and desserts all sourced from within the region. For the wine connoisseur and novice alike there is an award winning range of rieslings, crisp sauv blancs, chardonnay, gewürztraminer, roses, pinot noirs, sparklings and fortified wines produced by a number of regional vineyards. Liquers, cider and alcoholic ginger beer will also make an appearance. 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. http://www.tasteofthehuon.com/ |

Events in Tasmania July 2017
Huon Valley Mid Winter Fest
13, 14, 15 July 2018
A full program of music, activities, food and drinks at Willie Smith's Apple Shed. In the apple orchards and cider works, near Huonville, 40 minutes south from Hobart.
Willie Smiths Apple Shed is the hottest hut in the Huon Valley: craft ciders, artisan cheeses, and plenty of space to sit, chat, roll in the hay, etc. They’ve partnered up with other like-minded locals to throw a mini mid-winter festival to celebrate the region’s apple-pickin’ history.
At its core is a focus on wassailing: the ages-old tradition of scaring nasties out of cider apple trees, from orchard to orchard, in order to bring on a stellar autumn yield. Now, things may seem a little strange at first: kings, queens, processions, giving gifts to the trees, shouting, banging, fire, candlelight, and so forth, but what else would you expect? And if none of that bobs your Geeveston fanny, that’s okay too – there’ll be cider, entertainment and feast-worthy food in abundance.
