Not too surprising that the Tasmanian Food & Wine Conservatory has taken out the winning dong, with a good margin. Since their opening, we can’t recall ever hearing a negative comment or review, apart from being difficult to secure a table as it’s so often booked out.
Co-owner Vonda Mason’s favourite dish
“It’s hard to go past our Gourmet platter because it epitomises the diversity of what Tasmania has to offer, from seafood, charcuterie, cheese, conserves, mustards, pickles, artisan breads and crackers all matched with some of the best wine in the Country.”
