For fine food and wine you'll be spoilt for choice in Northern Tasmania. Explore the region's historic buildings, rich heritage and the quiet waters of the Tamar River which winds for 40km north from Launceston to Bass Strait. The Tamar Valley is Tasmania's most established and productive wine region.

Located in the centre of northern Tasmania, at the head of the beautiful Tamar Valley, is Tasmania's second largest city, Launceston. Exploring this city is easy, and you don't have to go far to be amazed by the natural attractions, including Cataract Gorge. Launceston is a great base for exploring the vineyards, as well as the surrounding national parks.

Visit the scenic city of Devonport, home port of the 'Spirit of Tasmania' and where the Mersey River flows into Bass Strait. This welcoming city is home to an array of cosmopolitan restaurants, boutiques, galleries and a fascinating Science Centre.
