Welcome to Herbaceous Tours; the home of unique Tasmanian Gourmet Food and Wine Tours!
Latest News!
The Taste Festival was a wonderful opportunity to extend the network of a range of Tasmanian food and wine producers. It was a delight to meet Karina Dambergs, senior winemaker at Clover Hill vineyard. Karina started her career as a chemical engineer and then switched to winemaking which seemed a natural fit.
Karina must be doing something very right as her Clover Hill Vintage Brut 2006 was one of only four iconic Australian wines served at a lunch in honor of Her Majesty The Queen and His Royal Highness The Duke of Edinburgh on Sunday, October 23, 2011, at Government House in Canberra.
This isn't Clover Hill's first appearance at a royal shindig, having been the tipple of choice at Princess Mary's and Prince Frederik's wedding celebrations back in 2004.
So cheers to Karina and all at Clover Hill, a wonderful achievement and helps to prove what we all know……Tasmanian wines rank as some of the best in the world!

• 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.
