My Tasmania is a gastronomic paradise for foodies and slow food lovers alike. The wines are heavenly and handcrafted beers and whiskeys dee-vine.
I am repeating this article penned on 11/11/09 by Karen Halabi on behalf of Tourism Australia. She says it as well as I could as a former luxury gourmet tour company operator in TAS.
...Eat your way around the island of Tasmania, a gastronomic paradise. In Hobart there’s Gondwana, Lebrina, Marque IV, Moorilla Estate and, just out of the city, Meadowbank Estate.
In Launceston, Stillwater Restaurant and the Mill Providore, beside the beautiful Tamar River, has grown into one of Australia's favourite food destinations.
In the north, regional fare features the stunning Georgian homestead Calstock, near Deloraine; on the west coast, gracious dining on the edge of the wilderness at Franklin Manor, Strahan; in the south, the stunning architecture of Peppermint Bay restaurant and provedore at Woodbridge; or the rammed earth restaurant at Home Hill Winery.

I just did the Wineglass excursion, which I called the East Coast Escape in my Vino Ventures biz. It was a wonderful visit to my favorite spots and I found many new eateries and wineries and a handcrafted chocolate shop!
Here's the rest of the article, the best for last.
Experience Wineglass to Wine Glass. Walk from Freycinet Lodge to Wineglass Lookout then down to the white-sanded shores of Wineglass Bay where a banquet awaits. Indulge in Tasmania's finest food and wine near the turquoise waters of the Freycinet Peninsula on Tasmania’s pristine East Coast. You will be served local produce and cool-climate wines, including the freshest seafood from east coast waters, Tasmanian beef and quail, salads and Tasmanian cheeses.
