WHAT IS
THE OFF SEASON?
Any time of year is a fine time to explore Tasmania, but the cooler months are when things get wild. This is the Off Season – a time to gather around blazing log fires and slow-cooked feasts; to plunge into festivals and dance wildly; to talk long into the night and dream deeply. Find inspiration in nature, get creative, or go 'off' in your own way – the Off Season is open to just about anything.
Off Season Offers
Businesses across Tasmania join the Off Season festivities with offers and experiences for winter wanderers – things to do, places to stay and good things to eat and drink. A forest cabin on a winter’s night. A truffle hunt over frosty fields. Maybe a cooking class, a stargazing session, a rafting trip or a sled-dog ride. Want to get amongst it next winter?

Things to do in winter
When the cold weather rolls around, the Off Season fires up with wine, whisky, festivals, feasts and face paint. But the Off Season can also be a time of quiet reflection – a chance to go off-grid. Dive into nature and come up smiling, or stoke your creative fires and try something new. Let your inhibitions drop with the temperature, or just get cosy. This is winter, for real.
The off season community
Head underground with a cave expert, taste-test fresh honey with a beekeeper, or cold-plunge with the brave – the Off Season is an open invitation to embrace the Tasmanian winter, hand-in-hand with our creative community. Meet some seasoned Off Seasoners and hotwire your cool season with a social spark.
