Tasmania Is Coming To Visit Melbourne, Sydney & Brisbane

As much as mainlanders might poke fun at Tasmanians, it’s pretty much universally accepted that the Apple Isle has got it going on when it comes to food, produce and culture. From their gourmet cheeses to their huge fresh oysters; their weird festivals of darkness to their surreal art gallery with near celebrity status, Tasmania is on many a must-visit list for a reason. But if you live in an East Coast capital city and you simply must eat a Tasmanian oyster – like, now – you can rest easy, because the best of Tasmania is coming to you.

VIN Diemen is an event celebrating all that Tasmania has to offer by gathering up some of its finest wine, alcohol and food vendors who are more than happy to bring their delicious goods to you. The travelling Tasmanian taste-makers will be visiting Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane over the coming weeks to showcase some of the best produce coming out of our southern state.
