HERBACEOUS TOURS

If you like the idea of walking straight through the farm gate and meeting Tasmanian makers, farmers and producers, Sally of Herbaceous Tours is your lady. Most places visited are working farms where producers normally don’t cater for tourists. This is what makes a day with Sally so special, accessing behind-the-scenes spaces no visitor can see on their own. Choose from a day brimming with fresh produce and perhaps a whisky poured direct by the Master Distiller, or take an overnight extended tour. Wherever you are in the state, let Sally connect you with the best of our food and drink producers.
