Our wine tasting guide was friendly and fun, and no wine question of ours was too silly for an answer. All three of us left with a different bottle and a chunk more knowledge about the wines of the region, and I left with a bonus craving for Thai curry (after picking up a bottle of late harvest riesling). The site itself is quite picturesque, with gorgeous stone buildings sitting on the side of a hill. We steered past the cafe corner and hid in the little showroom, but I wouldn't mind a return visit perched on the cafe deck in the sun with a nice glass of Margaret Pooley Tribute (of course my palate likes the more expensive bottles, curse it).

We dropped in to taste some cheese and ended up staying for lunch with wine, coffee and dessert and it was one of the best lunches we had on our trip to Tasmania.

You will almost certainly waddle out of here. I recommend going down a serving (if there's four of you, ask for a platter for three. Trust me). Oh, and if you aren't a local, they pack everything in a bonus mini-esky so you can fly it back home (that is, if you don't eat it at the airport/in the car).

With a mix of old favourites and new creations all whipped up in-house, you won't walk out of here disappointed--even if you're not a sweets fan, because there's also a small selection of savoury items like sandwiches and rolls available. One of the best corners of the shop is the ice-cream window, and yes, all frozen goods are made in-house as well. Let crazy flavours like butter beer be your guide. Yes, you can even get away with asking for a sample spoon of a couple of flavours (but don't get too greedy). There are a few tables both inside and outside if you'd like to stop in for morning or afternoon tea (hot and cold beverages are also available), but don't be scared to get some precious cargo to take away instead (or as well!).

We took a focaccia home but sat in store to enjoy a short Mac and flat white. We had the Lexington pancake - out of curiosity really and the PB&J cupcake. The Lexington pancake had cream, lemon curd and a berry compote tart. Yummy is the best way to describe it but the lavender flavoured cream was a bit overpowering - probably just not used to it. Coffee was alright and helped me continue on our food nerd journey through Hobart! All things were reasonably priced too by our Sydneysider standards of usually paying too much for not as good! Definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Hobart!

Salamanca was the largest market and extended from the entrance by St. David's Park, past Parliament and the Tasman Memorial and ended nearby the Blue Eye Seafood. The market was already bustling and busy when we walked through at 9:30am which was just one hour after the start. This was the largest concentration of people in Hobart we saw during our stay. We saw lots of local Tasmania crafted products, batch distilleries, fresh produce, and a variety of food offerings like scallop pies, burgers and other cuisines. Most were setup under tents but a few food trucks and trailers also. Overall popular for locals and visitors and a good experience to add while in Hobart.
