The new Stargazer Tasting Room is the perfect setting for a beautiful, guided tasting experience overlooking the Chardonnay and Pinot Noir vines at the Palisander vineyard. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or just beginning your wine journey, they invite you to sit with them for a tutored session. You'll be seated around the bespoke communal table with other like-minded wine lovers, where you'll enjoy a selection of current-release wines and occasionally other special vinous treats.

Bonorong is a Sanctuary for wildlife run by a passionate team of like-minded people. They're a social enterprise: a little business with a big heart. Just 30 minutes north of Hobart's CBD, they are home to many animals, including Tasmanian devils, wombats, echidnas, birds, quolls and more. They also have free-roaming Forester kangaroos who are always keen for a good scratch on the chest and some gentle hand feeding (roo food included with entry). A visit to Bonorong is not complete without joining one of their daily guided tours. These tours are free with entry and give you the opportunity to meet some of their most popular locals: the wombats, devils and echidnas. You will hear little-known facts and stories of the wildlife in their care. Tour groups, school groups and after-school groups can all be catered for with private tours and more. They have a Food Hut onsite, making it a great stop for lunch with 100% plant-based meals. Bonorong is easily accessible by car, with free parking onsite.

Wildlife Photography for beginners is a hands-on workshop designed for people who want to learn the foundational skills of nature photography in a real-world setting. This immersive small group experience introduces core photography principles and how they apply when photographing wildlife in their natural environments. Led by an experienced nature photography guide, the workshop balances time in the field with practical instruction and personalised feedback. Participants explore basic camera settings, movement and focusing techniques, and how to work with light and natural behaviour to capture more intentional wildlife images. Rather than overwhelming you with technical detail, the focus is on building confidence and helping you make thoughtful choices with your camera. By the end of the day, you will have strengthened your understanding of photography fundamentals and developed the skills to continue practising wildlife photography with greater ease and enjoyment. This workshop offers an engaging way to connect with Tasmania's natural environment and wildlife while growing your photography skills in a supportive and encouraging setting.
