The Ultimate Tasmanian Wine Odyssey Competition Launches

Lovers of Tasmania and its wines are being invited to enter a new competition, launched this week by Wine Tasmania. Billed as the Ultimate Tasmanian Wine Odyssey, two lucky winners will travel to the island (via wings or wheels/ferry) on a truly Tasmanian feasting journey through the north, south and east coast wine trails.

With some of the best wine and local produce, not to mention stunning scenery, wildlife and adventure, Tasmania is a must-visit destination. With travel restrictions over the past couple of years, it has been a while between journeys down south for many wine and food lovers.

Despite these travel restrictions, visits to cellar doors over the year to September 2021 were enjoyed by 160,000 tourists, 24% of all visitors to Tasmania, and in the top eight activities undertaken by visitors. (Source: Tourism Tasmania Tourism Visitor Survey)
