The newest dining destination on Tasmania's East Coast, Wade Restaurant sits within the grounds of Wineglass Bay Estate, celebrating the best of the region from paddock to plate.

A true expression of place, Wade brings together fresh produce, open-fire cooking, exceptional local wine and the beauty of Tasmania's East Coast.

Kitty's Mistake Vineyard & Cellar Door is a brand-new wine destination at Wineglass Bay Estate on Tasmania's spectacular East Coast. Set across 52 acres of absolute waterfront overlooking the internationally significant Moulting Lagoon, the estate is home to a newly planted one-hectare Pinot Noir vineyard, eight luxury adults-only retreats, the cellar door and WADE Restaurant. Kitty's Mistake is about good wine without the fuss. Drop into the cellar door to taste our range, enjoy a glass or bottle, then head outside to the expansive waterfront area, with plenty of space to sit, relax, take in the views, play a game of bocce and settle in beside the outdoor fireplaces. Sitting alongside the cellar door is the brand-new WADE Restaurant, led by Chef Wade Fordham. WADE celebrates the best of Tasmanian produce with relaxed, seasonal dining and dishes designed to share, many cooked over the Argentine Asado grill. Located on the gateway to Freycinet National Park, just minutes from Friendly Beaches and Coles Bay, Kitty's Mistake is an easy stop for visitors exploring the region — or a destination in itself. Come for a tasting, stay for lunch, linger over a glass, find a spot by the water or beside the fire, and settle in for the afternoon. It's a relaxed new way to experience Tasmania's East Coast.

Moulting Lagoon is a large wetland of extraordinary beauty at the northern end of Great Oyster Bay on Tasmania's east coast. It is internationally recognised because it contains rare and significant wetland plants and animals and supports high numbers of waterfowl and aquatic species. The lagoon provides year-round habitat and breeding sites for many Tasmanian waterfowl in particular black swans and is an important feeding site for birds migrating from the northern hemisphere. There are numerous Aboriginal heritage sites recorded within the Moulting Lagoon area. Evidence confirms that Aboriginal nations have inhabited Trowunna (Tasmania) for at least 37,000 years. The Paredarerme(also known as the Oyster Bay nation) occupied the area at the time of European invasion. The Paredarerme nation included ten bands and their territory covered 7,800 square kilometres. Today this area continues to be significant to the Aboriginal community. All Aboriginal heritage sites are protected under the Aboriginal Relics Act 1975. An ideal location for birdwatching, fishing, kayaking and photography.
