Mewstone Wines

Established by brothers Matthew and Jonathan Hughes and located at Flowerpot, about 40 minutes south of Hobart on the D’Entrecasteaux Channel, Mewstone is a small family-owned winery with a focus on premium Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Riesling. Jonny is the winemaker of this family venture, having studied his craft abroad in New Zealand, Italy and Canada before heading home to Tasmania as Assistant Winemaker at Moorilla for seven years. Mewstone’s recently opened cellar door overlooks the picturesque vista of the Channel and offers tastings by appointment.

Spring Bay Mill

Spring Bay Mill’s latest accommodation offering, the Ridge Quarters, has
taken out the categories for Sustainable Architecture and Commercial Architecture at this year’s Australian Institute of Architects Awards. Designed by Hobart firm Gilby Brewin Architecture and constructed by local east coast company Dillon Builders, the Ridge Quarters sits where a huge stockpile of
woodchips once covered the hill on this site, now rejuvenated with a diverse native garden.

Movenpick

Movenpick Hobart’s latest group offering is a private culinary experience with chefs from the hotel’s popular Italian restaurant, Tesoro. With a fun and casual vibe, participants are guided through a pizza making class (with glass of wine in hand!), making authentic Italian pizza dough from scratch, and choosing from a selection of gourmet toppings before placing each pizza in the restaurant’s wood fired pizza oven. An experience that can be tailored
to groups of various sizes, this is a great activity in the heart of Hobart’s CBD.
