We had picked up a leaflet about this place while in the Huon Valley so had a look on our way back to Hobart. Some really fabulous sheep's cheeses and gin as well. We had some of the gin and some cheese to and thoroughly enjoyed them, even though they were more expensive than we would normally go for.
we tasted some delicious cheese and a kransky sausage. They also have gin, vodka and a liqueur made from whey. It was a bit early to taste the spirits but the liqueur was smooth and tasty. They delivered home to us on the mainland free postage!
This stop is a little different to most others in that it combines cheese and vodka and gin all made on site. The cheeses and gin and vodka tasting is complimentary and a nice way to start the visit.
The cafe area is well presented and the views down the Channel spectacular, even on an overcast and damp day. A nice touch are small blankets on each chair in case you’re feeling a little chilled. Though the offer was made to close the shutters, but we preferred the slight breeze and view.
The platter had a number of the cheeses produced on site along with lamb Krasky and a range of accompaniments. At $50 for two it wasn’t cheap, but some of the cheese retails at $135 a kg, so to be expected. Accompanied by a bottle of Willie Smith cider and views it was a nice stop.
Loved it and will visit again.
The cheese tasting was great with some interesting products offered to complement the cheese and the making of cheese. Coffee on the veranda was a pleasant experience. The cheese really was a little too expensive. At $120 a kg it exceeded what would be paid for some top market French cheeses. The staff were helpful and informed.
Grand in views and quality of ewe produced products. Beautiful location with stunning views. Delicious range of sheeps milk cheeses and other products for sampling and purchase. Distillery products available also. I only tried the gin but that was excellent. Coffee and light meals available as well. Definitely worth a visit.
Stopped in for a free tasting only but was great! Got to sample a few cheeses (all delicious) and some of their delicious liquors and gins. Staff very friendly and hospitable. Would recommend.
