With Tasmanian border restrictions slated to lift on 26 October 2020 for people from QLD, ACT, SA, WA and NT and, for NSW, likely from 2 November, without the need to quarantine, World Expeditions, has launched a 10 day boutique culinary adventure in Tasmania, to be escorted by chef and television personality, Peter Kuruvita.

Participants will have a chance to go ‘behind the scenes’ to explore the rich variety of produce on offer and meet the people involved ranging from a sustainable bee keeper, a salmon farm, an oyster farmer at Coles Bay near Freycinet National Park, as well as enjoying visits to boutique vineyards, breweries and a tasting experience with a master cheesemaker.
Other tour highlights include:
