The Tasting Trail and TrailGraze
01st June 2024
TrailGraze 2026: April 10 – 12, 2026
A Weekend Feast with Tasting Trail Tasmania
Presented by Tasting Trail Tasmania, TrailGraze returns to celebrate the incredible food, drink and hands-on experiences of North West Tasmania.
Much-loved favourites are making a comeback — think grape stomping, tastings, workshops, behind-the-scenes tours and the annual dinner (with a twist this year). Alongside them, a few new ideas are quietly taking shape.
Not everything is ready to be revealed just yet, but expect timed activations, truly out-of-the-ordinary experiences you won’t find any other time of year, and a closer look at how food is grown, made and shared — sometimes before it even hits the ground.
One weekend. One region. So much to savour.
Keep updated on the Tasting Trail facebook page.
