Not a big fan of the reisling wines but we did get to try some pinot noirs that were decent. Didn't walk away with a bottle but that mostly had to do with custom limitations more than anything else.

We seem to enjoy the Tasmanian bubbles the most everywhere we go. The charcuterie board was good but it was a bit overpriced for the size and quality. Oysters at a very good price though.

We decided to stop by two wineries on the way to Bicheno. Spring Vale Vineyards was the first one…read more It's in some very cool digs. The tastings are done right in the original convict built building. Very classy with a bit of a rustic feel to it. Wine tastings are free AND unlimited. Talk about dangerous! There was a mix of reds and whites that we sampled. The host was engaging and knowledgeable. Cool that they have a bin end specials ($28.00 to 30.00 AUD) for bottles that were slight imperfect. They even let us sample a few of their grapes that were on the counter. - Spring Vale rose 2017 ($30.00 AUD) - we bought a bottle for our friend as they liked the rose the best. Cool little winery with some good wines to try.

Stopped here for a beer. Walked across the road and you can walk along a long beach, it's really…read morereally beautiful. Come into the bar and you can sit outside and watch the beach or inside where it's nice and warm. The bar is short with lots locals sitting around relaxing. The bar person was pretty impatient, I wasn't sure what I wanted and he threw his hands up because I was unsure! They have a fairly good range of alcohol, I asked for a pure blonde and I had the choice of can or bottle which is really cool. It's a small bar area but I wouldn't expect they would get a lot of people here. We stayed for lunch, they have the pretty standard stuff, chicken schnitzel , steak sandwich, Thai salad etc. I got the chicken schnitzel and it came with chips and a salad, the schnitzel was over cooked but the rest was good. My friend has a burger which looked good but it's not the kind of place you'd go to every week for food.

A big thumbs up for the wood fired oven - we had some lovely oven baked fish. The staff are very friendly - Brendan really made us feel welcome and took the time to talk to us even though it was busy. The food is a little bit expensive for pub food though. I think that this is easily the best option for eating in Swansea, it was the only one recommended by our B&B hosts and other locals.

Wow what a find. This is in a really cool century old cabin. It's know as a new up and comer in…read moreAustralia. They are an expert Pinot noir house and their estate blend is really incredible. It's part of a very old family holdings. And they are in fact the second oldest family business in Tasmania. They have nice white whites but the Pinot noirs are where they really shine. Incredible complexity with a rich almost tobacco flavor with a wonderful finish are the result. They are a small producer and even their high volume run is only 4,000 bottles. The staff there is super friendly and if you are lucky and are from Australia join their wine club and get a nice instance discount.

We stopped at Bark Mill Bakery for a quick pit stop on our way to Bicheno. It's a popular spot as…read morethe place was absolutely slammed when we dropped in. There was even two tour buses in the parking lot. We dropped in on a Saturday afternoon (around 12:30pm). They have a bit of everything; sandwiches, meat pies, desserts, soups, breakfast and drinks (coffee, tea and hot/cold drinks). - Sausage pie ($3.90 AUD) - our friend devoured this so quickly that we didn't even see it. - Savoury pie ($3.90 AUD) - we tried a savoury pie. It tasted like a chicken pot pie without the chicken. Great crunchy, flaky texture. Will need to try more of these. - Vanilla slice ($5.50 AUD) - our other friend told us these are great in Ozzy. She let us sample; light and creamy. Yum. - Korma curry vegetable ($5.90 AUD) - potato, pumpkin, carrot, peas, spinach, onion, cauliflower, zucchini and sweet potato. Our first vegetarian pie; curry was mild. Decent enough. Good little cafe spot to grab a quick bite.

We only…read morehad a piccolo latte and Banbury slice but wished we had time for more as all the food in their display cases looked quite appetizing, especially their selection of savory pies (which is saying something in Australia). Being in the Tasmanian countryside we may have preferred a more "mom and pop" type of bakery rather than this somewhat touristy, slightly franchise-y looking establishment complete with an attached tavern, but the selection and quality of the food made it worth the stop.
