Australian wine on this plate is Tasmanian: cool-climate estates on the east coast plus a distillery pouring at the cellar door. Lark Distillery pours its single-malt Tasmanian whisky at the cellar door before you fly home. Bay of Fires Wines bottles cool-climate Tasmanian wine and sparkling on the east coast. Freycinet Vineyard grows estate Pinot Noir and Riesling on a pioneering east coast property founded in 1978. Taste Riesling before the reds, because island acid resets the palate for whatever follows it to the table.

Hobart, Tasmania
Casey Overeem began distilling as a hobbyist before founding what became a landmark of Tasmania's modern whisky revival, releasing his first single malt under the original Old Hobart Distillery name in 2012. The label passed out of family hands in 2014 and returned in 2020 when his daughter Jane and her husband Mark Sawford bought it back, continuing the house style of port, sherry and bourbon cask-finished single malts.

Boston Bay Wines is a family-owned cellar door and vineyard on the Lincoln Highway at Tiatukia, just outside Port Lincoln on South Australia's Eyre Peninsula. The Allen family bought the brand and vineyard in 2023. They had already built Barristers Block in the Adelaide Hills into a wine tourism destination and set out to bring the same approach to the peninsula. Jan Allen founded Barristers Block, and her sons Lachlan and James Allen work in the business with her. The family has farmed for three generations, with a fourth on the way. Its wine story reaches back to the first plantings at its Wrattonbully vineyard in 1997. The portfolio now draws on three regions: Wrattonbully, the Adelaide Hills vineyard at Woodside and the Eyre Peninsula. The Boston Bay vineyard was the first planted on the Eyre Peninsula and sits with the Southern Ocean at its doorstep. Riesling is the signature variety. Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grow alongside it, and the family describes the site as giving soft, delicate wines. Visitors book hosted tastings or wine flights overlooking the water. The kitchen serves pizzas and fresh oysters for lunch, with small plates for sharing. The property also hosts weddings and events. The Allens say family members are often behind the counter at the cellar door. Wines from all three regions are sold on site and through the online shop, and Muster Wine Co handles distribution within South Australia.
