Many Americans I know who visit Australia tend to skip over Tasmania. It is a shame because there are plenty of wonderful things about this island south of the continent. For this post, I will focus on Hobart, which is the Tassie capital.
So, what does Hobie have to offer?

1. Wines. Generally, Tasmania has a cool climate so they produce a lot of Pinot Noirs. (Don't worry, they also have Rieslings, Chardonnays, Gewurztraminers, etc.) If wine tasting is your thing, there are a lot of wine regions within Tasmania. But, if you are spending time only in the capital, you are in luck.
Gasworks Cellar Door offers visitors a place to taste wines from all over the island. The tasting room also has a lot of educational information about Tasmanian terroir.
