About the event
The Taste of Summer, formerly known as Taste of Tasmania, is an annual event held in Hobart, Tasmania, from December 27 to January 6. This festival includes over 75 stalls featuring local breweries, distilleries, wineries, and eateries, drawing in both locals and tourists from around the globe. Hosted at Princes Wharf, adjacent to the historic Salamanca Place (Hall, C.M., & Sharples, L., 2008 p. 122[2]), the festival coincides with the State’s peak of the tourism season. Additionally, Hobart's waterfront serves as the epicentre for New Year's Eve celebrations, including the renowned Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race. Visitors have the opportunity to taste the best of Tasmanian cuisine and beverages while enjoying live music and entertainment provided by a diverse array of interstate performers. The event serves as an example of the significant role tourism plays in the Australian economy (Hall, C.M., & Sharples, L., 2008 p. 124[2]). Beyond offering a platform for showcasing local products, the festival generates socio-economic benefits such as job creation and amplifies the region's food and wine industry.
