​We began making a little list of new things across Tassie that fast became a long-scrolling affair. We can’t keep up. So, we’ve handpicked a few faves to add to your travel list. There’s sneaky cocktail bars, new walking adventures, and a vineyard powered by our sunshine. Oh, and who wants to dive into a tub of red velvet pillows or stand upside down with locals?
​

GOLD BAR HOBART – HOBART WATERFRONT 
Blink and you’ll miss this little speakeasy. It’s tucked away in a former flour mill down by the waterfront, featuring a suite of fine spirits, cocktails and comfort food. Nitro-Martini anyone?

INSTITUT POLAIRE – HOBART WATERFRONT
It’s cool in here. We mean really cool. Slick, beautiful and artfully focussed around Tasmania’s cool climate. The drinks are chilled, the fire glows, the interior is invitingly luxe. It’s the place to sip on an Antarctic dry martini.
www.institutpolaire.com.au

​OLD WHARF RESTAURANT - HOBART
Settle in by the River Derwent at Old Wharf where seafood and story telling are high on the menu. Led by Saffire Freycinet’s former Head Chef Simon Pockran, it’s difficult to pass up the Chef’s Table experience of five courses straight from the open-style kitchen.

SUZIE LUCKS'S CANTEEN & COCKTAIL BAR - HOBART
Knew and loved Smolt in Salamanca Square? Well, after ten years of trade, they have re-opened as a Pan-Asian eatery - Suzie Luck's. The space has been completely re-imagined and goes very nicely with a fruity Mai Tai.

MOORE’S HILL ESTATE - TAMAR VALLEY
Need somewhere to plug in your Tesla? Moore’s Hill is a family operated wine producer who happen to be Tasmania’s first 100 per cent solar powered winery. In the stunning Tamar Valley, these folk make wine powered by the sun – completing the new winery in March this year. And yes, there’s a plug for Teslas.

​KWAN HO – SANDY BAY, HOBART

www.wrestpoint.com.au
​
​
​WUKALINA WALK - NORTH EAST TASMANIA
Across three nights and four days, come to understand the palawa (Tasmanian Aboriginal) culture on a guided walking experience through north east Tasmania, including the famed Bay of Fires. First walkers on this Aboriginal owned and operated walk depart January 2018, staying in traditional dome inspired huts and a renovated lighthouse keeper’s cottage on the final night.

KOMBI CAFE – BATTERY POINT, HOBART
You might recognise this mobile food business? Now it’s laid roots down in Hampden Rd, Battery Point. Drop in to Kombi for terribly nutritious smoothies, Buddha bowls and wholefood hotcakes. Oh, and if you have special dietary requirements line up with the others tired of paying extra for milk alternatives. 

KILLARA DISTILLERY - SOUTHERN TASMANIA
So this isn’t brand new. But we had to give a shout out to one of the few distilleries across the world that is owned and operated by a female. Kristy Booth-Lark has distilling in her veins, her parents are Bill and Lyn Lark and her distillery’s name pays homage to the Lark legacy. For someone who wanted to be an air traffic controller, aren’t we glad Kristy opened Killara last year, making Apothecary Gin, Single Malt, brandy and more. Kristy tells us she hopes to have a cellar door soon but for now, enjoy her drops at The House of Whisky on Bruny, Society in Salamanca, Drink Co., Gold Bar and others.

​CHIPPIES RIGHT ROYAL FISH N CHIPS - BATTERY POINT
