Freycinet Lodge - Wineglass to Wine Glass [Federal Group]
Many Australians are familiar with the crescent-shaped Wineglass Bay in Tasmania’s Freycinet National Park, filled with turquoise water and rimmed by sparkling white sand. But few will know that the Freycinet Peninsula has a history dating back tens of thousands of years, evidenced by the Aboriginal middens near Hazards Beach, and the more recent history of the early explorers who originally charted its coastline.
Now you can uncover these stories, explore the Peninsula’s natural wonders, and sample some of the region’s finest food and wine with Pure Tasmania’s Wineglass to Wine Glass experience.
Wineglass to Wine Glass captures the history, nature and food and wine of the Freycinet Peninsula in an intimate, engaging guided experience for a maximum of eight guests.
Departing Freycinet Lodge mid-morning, your highly trained guide leads a walk up to the Wineglass Bay lookout, with sweeping views of the Freycinet Peninsula and beyond. Along the way, learn about the geological formations of the area and its unique flora and fauna.
Then, make your way down to the pristine shores of Wineglass Bay beach, named by US magazine Outside as one of the top 10 beaches in the world, and enjoy morning tea looking out upon the shimmering crystal clear waters - often the playground of dolphins and whales following their seasonal migratory trails.
Making your way across the peninsula, keep your eye out for native animals that make their homes close to the nearby lagoon. Then, stand surrounded by Aboriginal middens dating back tens of thousands of years as you hear about the original Great Oyster Bay people of the region.
Next, meet another stretch of sand and water at Hazards Beach, where the tides wash ashore examples of underwater life. Walking to the southern end of this beach, you will discover another secluded bay where a gourmet lunch of local seafood, beef, quail, and the East Coast’s finest wines and Tasmanian cheeses awaits.
The rest of the afternoon is yours to feast, wander the sandy shores, take a dip in Great Oyster Bay, or sit back and take in the area’s spectacular scenery before our launch, Baudin, collects guests for the half-hour cruise back to Freycinet Lodge.
