Launceston Beerfest NYE 2023

Wander into the Cataract Gorge nestled on the verge of the city centre.

Launceston has been named a UNSECO City of Gastronomy and upon arrival you’ll quickly understand why. Creating and sharing great food and drink is a core part of Northern Tasmanian culture. Take a day to wander around the city, experience food, culture and a little adventure.

Explore the workings of a vineyard and sample our cool climate wine industry.

From vines to treetops and lighthouses, this is truly a great escape not to be missed.

A feast for the senses - walk in World Heritage Areas, dine on local Tasmanian fare, walk in World Heritage Areas, repeat.

Head to George Town and shred some trails! With 70km of riding over two trail networks, George Town Mountain Bike Trails complete the North-East Tasmanian mountain biking narrative. Located only 40 minutes from Launceston, George Town is the perfect first-stop on your mountain biking adventure.

You will feel anything but hollow after walks to cliff faces and waterfalls followed by a visit to the renowned Mole Creek caves.

You'll go nuts for this day visit to the Great Western Tiers area with a blend of farm gates, furry friends and walks of cultural significance.

If heritage is your passion this day or so are sure to be the high point of your trip. Capture the essence of our history through visits to national trust mansions, colonial villages, and working historic farms.

If you are limited to a half day and keen to soak up our heritage past, this is how we recommend you spend it. Relax in parkland settings, appreciate fine architecture and walk a mile in the shoes of those who've gone before us.

Discerning museums, breweries, and parkland, our city provides a feast for the senses.
