Taste of Tasmania

The Taste of Tasmania is Tasmania's largest food and wine festival. Established in 1988, the Festival operates from 28 December–3 January and celebrated its 31st year in 2019. The festival is held in Hobart's Salamanca Place and waterfront precinct. The festival is run by the City of Hobart.

In 2020 the Festival was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Australia.[1]

About

The Taste of Tasmania focuses on promoting Tasmanian produce wherever possible. Visitation is estimated at up to 500,000 people each year over the one-week period.[2]

The Taste of Tasmania is the combination of the Taste of Tasmania and the Hobart Summer Festival. Following the culmination of the Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, and associated boost in tourism, the Festival takes advantage of Hobart's warm summer, picturesque location and long hours of sunlight to showcase the best in Tasmanian produce, arts, crafts, and entertainment.
