BICHENO FOOD & WINE FESTIVAL

We traveled the 43kms to Bicheno (north) for their Food and Wine Festival.  It was a overcast day, no rain.  Everything from cheeses, home made jams, pickles, chutneys, food from all over Tasmania to many of our local wines. I must mention the cheese which we purchased from Fowlers Cheese, 25824 Tasman Highway, St Helens.  For more information call Ian 0488907107 or email ifowler@rocketmail.com.  Beautiful tasting cows milk cheese.

We spent a several hours listening & enjoying the "Blues in the Park" with Pete Cornelius & the DeVilles.   Pete has released 8 full length Blues Albums, and his new release 'Groundswell' is receiving airplay nation wide. Pete and the DeVilles have featured at many festivals including, Festivale, Byron Bay's Blues Fest, The Great Spouthern Blues Festival, The Australian Blues Festival.   Blues artist Toby Garrett and contemporary guitarist 'Joff'   were on the main stage and at the main entrance to the festival.

All in all it was a great day  loved the music & food/wine, lots of people there.
I would recommend if traveling to Tasmania's east coast in late November come along to the Bicheno Food & Wine Festival.
