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.[1]

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.
