2 Day 2: Launceston to Hobart (B, L)
This morning, get to know this northern vibrant hub, known for its food and wine as well as its culture and nature, with an informative city circuit tour. This is followed by a visit to one of the region’s premier tourist attractions, the Cataract Gorge. Here you can take a ride on the world’s longest single span chairlift, or for the slightly less adventurous, take a walk over the swinging Alexandria Bridge whilst exploring the gorge at your own pace.
You will then head south and across to the east coast where you’ll stop for lunch and wine tasting at Craigie Knowe Vineyard, the east coast’s oldest vineyard. After lunch and a drive south, visit Barilla Bay Oyster Farm to sample some of the freshest and plumpest oysters in the world! Here you’ll have a chance to check out their shop which sells their famous homemade Ginger Beer, fresh scallop pies, fresh prawns or even some Candy Abalone.
Arriving into Hobart at your accommodation, you’ll love the warmth of this 1874-built sandstone mansion situated right in the heart of historic Battery point. Settle in or go out and explore. The night is yours at leisure.
Hotel: Lenna of Hobart, 2 nights

3 Day 3: Salamanca Place, Hobart City and Richmond (B, D)
This morning after breakfast, you’re free to explore your surrounds. Wander through the historic village of Battery Point which is just steps away from your hotel. Discover the many art galleries and artisan workshops hidden in the sandstone buildings of Salamanca Place, or head up to the Farm Gate Market where you’ll have the opportunity to meet the stall holders and taste some of the delicious local produce.
This afternoon, you’ll board your coach for a tour of Australia’s most southern city. This will include a stop at the Cascade Brewery, Mt Nelson Lookout and the Tasmanian Royal Botanical Gardens. You’ll then visit the Georgian township of Richmond in the Coal River region. This country town is rich in history and architecture with more than 50 historic buildings dating back to the 1820’s. Here you can visit Australia’s oldest bridge, the convict-built Richmond Goal, or the famous Richmond Lolly Shop!
If that all seems like too much hard work, why not grab a fresh seafood lunch and a local brew in the warmth of the Richmond Arms Hotel in the town’s Main Street. After heading back to your accommodation this afternoon, you’ll make your way along the waterfront tonight for a scrumptious 3 course dinner with wine to share your stories of your adventures over the past few days.
