Herbaceous Tours caters for all who are passionate about Food and Wine, specifically the wonderful abundance of it in Tasmania.
• Do you want to know its sources, how it is cultivated or produced? Then an Herbaceous Tour is for you!
• Our tours are very special, as they take you "through" the Farm gate and allow you to Meet the Makers, a diverse group of Farmers, Providores, and Producers of a wide variety of Tasmanian Food and Wine products.
• Most of the facilities we will be visiting on Herbaceous Tours are working farms and producers who do not normally cater for tourists. This ensures that each participant of an Herbaceous Tour is sure to enjoy a genuinely unique experience of Tasmania.
• Not only will you enjoy some wonderful samples of Tasmanian Food and Wine on many of our tours you will also see some of the most spectacular scenery in the world!
• Please remember that tour destinations may change without notice; this is due to the fact that things 'happen' on farms and with food producers which may mean they have to suddenly cancel our visit.
• For your safety you are required to wear flat, enclosed shoes.
• Many of our tours involve negotiating rough terrain so are not suitable for children or people with limited mobility.
