Eat, Drink and Discover
From farm gates and cellar doors to hidden gems and local favourites, explore the flavours of Launceston.
More than a meal
In Launceston, great food starts long before it reaches the plate. It's a story of paddock to plate, connecting the people who grow, make and share food across the region.
It's why Launceston sits at the global dinner table as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy.
From the Land
Launceston sits at the heart of Northern Tasmania's agricultural region.
Fresh vegetables, berries, grains, livestock, dairy and cool-climate wines are produced across the landscape surrounding the city. The region's fertile farmland provides the foundation for a food culture known for its quality, seasonality and connection to local ingredients.
Gastronomy explores the relationships between food, people and place, encompassing the traditions, knowledge, industries and food systems that shape how we grow, make, share and enjoy food.

The paddock-to-plate journey doesn't stop at the farm gate
Across the region, local ingredients are transformed into wine, beer, spirits, cheese, baked goods and artisan products. Wineries, breweries, distilleries and producers add value to what is grown here while creating products enjoyed by locals and visitors.
