A Gastronomic Gathering: Picnic Essentials from Bruny Island

Welcome, fellow foodies, to a culinary gathering journey on the gorgeous shores of Bruny Island, Tasmania! Join us as we embark on a quest to gather the finest local delights for a memorable picnic experience amidst the island's stunning beaches and coves. From Bruny Island Whisky to the renowned Bruny Island Cheese Co. and beyond, let's gather our picnic essentials…

Our gathering journey begins at the House of Whisky, where the spirit of Tasmania awaits. Explore a selection of the island's finest single malt whiskies, each crafted with care and dedication. Whether you prefer smoky peat or smooth vanilla notes, there's a dram to suit every palate as you prepare for an unforgettable picnic experience.

Oysters by the Sea

Oysters by the sea Bruny Island

No picnic on Bruny Island would be complete without a taste of the ocean's bounty. Head to Get Shucked Oyster Bar where freshly shucked oysters await. Savor the briny goodness of these succulent mollusks, accompanied by a squeeze of lemon and a breathtaking view of the shimmering sea.

 Cheese and Brews Galore

Next, we make our way to the Bruny Island Cheese Co., a haven for cheese aficionados and beer enthusiasts alike. Indulge in a tasting of artisanal cheeses, from creamy brie to tangy blue, expertly paired with great local beers. Sample the renowned brews crafted onsite at the Cheesery, each one bursting with flavor and brewed with a touch of Tasmanian magic.

Sweet Treats 

No gathering journey is complete without a little something sweet 

Make a stop at the honey shop for honey ice-cream and the Bruny Island Chocolate Company for handcrafted chocolates, fudges, and truffles made with love. Pair your sweet treats with fresh fruits (the raspberry farm at Adventure Bay) and artisanal bread from the bread fridge roadside stall filled daily with hot woodfired sourdough by the bruny baker (also your host at Sheepwash Bay) for a fabulous picnic spread.

 Wines from the Vineyard

As the sun begins to set, it's time to toast to a successful gathering journey with a glass of locally produced wine. Visit Bruny Island Premium Wines and explore a selection of terroir-driven wines, each one a reflection of the island's unique microclimate and rich viticultural heritage.
