A taste of regional Tasmania just 30 minutes from Hobart

 

A Taste of the Huon, one of the most popular regional gourmet events in Tasmania, is returning to the Huon Valley after last year’s cancellation caused by the Covid pandemic.

The event will be held at the Ranelagh Recreation Grounds, just 30 minutes south of Hobart, on Sunday, March 13, and Monday, March 14, with the full program available at www.atasteofthehuon.com.au

The president of the event’s organising committee, Rosemary Bennett from Home Hill Wines, said the Huon Valley community was keen for the return of A Taste of the Huon.

“The event is a source of significant regional pride as it showcases so much of what the Huon Valley and Channel region has to offer,” she said.

“A Taste of the Huon is a celebration of our fine food, beverages and arts and crafts sourced from the region, complemented by a splendid entertainment program which will appeal to people of all ages.”

Covid safety precautions are a significant part of the committee’s planning priorities with exhibitors being well spaced so patrons can observe current social distancing requirements.

“We will also have the necessary sanitising stations, a ‘clean-team’ ensuring surfaces and touch-points are disinfected and we will monitor mask wearing where appropriate,” Bennett said.

“All the community groups involved with A Taste of the Huon are delighted with our decision to return this year.

“A Taste of the Huon not only provides an excellent vehicle for our community groups to contribute to the regional pride the event generates, it also helps to fund their own activities which further supports the local community.” 

A chance to try local wines, food, ciders and other producer in the fresh air.
