Bruny Island Nomadic Degustation

Steeped in rich Aboriginal history, forever altered by European arrival, Bruny Island’s voice is ready to be heard. In many ways, a well thought out day on Bruny can offer a deeper understanding of the broader Tasmanian experience. With hidden beaches, temperate rainforest, towering sea cliffs, infamous wildlife and some spectacular produce, there is almost too much to take in. Eat the Wild offers a truly unique service by not only preparing the best ingredients Bruny Island and Tasmania has to offer but doing so right before your eyes with the wilderness as your restaurant. Imagine the delicate taste of fresh seafood by the shoreline, seared kangaroo in the bush, an oyster shucking masterclass on the beach or having your own cheese platter explained by a cheesemaker. A day on Bruny Island with Eat the Wild will surprise you, satisfy you, stay with you a long time and leave you wondering if you’ll want to tell all your friends or keep this to yourself.

Beyond the Cellar Door Wine Tour

Redefining what is possible on a wine tour, Eat the Wild takes you to vineyards beyond the cellar door experience. Go behind the scenes, past the crowds, beyond the giftshop and into the winemakers world, and enjoy an unrivalled degustation food experience along the way. Unwind as your tour van serves as a mobile kitchen, the driver is your personal chef, and the farm, winemaking shed or sometimes even an old barn becomes the restaurant. If you are after crisp linen and silver service, we suggest you stick to the beaten path. With us, let the food, the wine, and the passion of the producers set the standard. The tour will skip throughout the Coal River Valley Wine Region and into the emerging vineyards of Tea Tree and beyond. At each stop you will be welcomed by the owners/winemakers who will personally guide you on a tasting experience through their finest selection. Meanwhile, the chef will prepare a degustation style dish paired to a generous serving of the vineyards ‘best foot forward’ wine. Sit, relax, chat, drink, eat, repeat.
