The best things to do in Tasmania this winter
Rather than bemoan our cool climate, Tasmanians are increasingly realising the value of rugging up, getting out, and embracing winter in all its glory.  
Here's how to make the most of the chill.
HUON VALLEY MID-WINTER FESTIVAL
A lively festival of feasting, cider, music, fire and folklore from July 15-17 at Grove. Hear tales from Tassie’s best storytellers and dress in your best pagan-inspired outfit.
WINTER BREWS
Fox Friday Brewery is serving  “the ideal Sunday fireside drinking buddy” – the Lazy Days Hazy Pale Ale while Shambles Brewery is serving Scream and Stout – a raspberry, dark chocolate stout.
CHOCOLATE FESTIVAL
Chocolate Winterfest returns to Latrobe this winter from August 11-14 with chocolate bingo, chocolate high tea, chocolate henna body art, chocolate massage therapy and more.
MOUNTAIN BIKING
Derby in Tasmania’s North East is home to more than 125km of trails and you can wind down after a hard day at the wood-fired Floating Sauna.
FARMERS’ MARKETS
Winter is a great time to visit Hobart’s Farm Gate ­Market or Launceston’s Harvest Market and enjoy the best of our cool-climate produce plus local meat and seafood is in abundance.
