"Housed in a converted 1830s mental asylum in Tasmania's Derwent Valley, this destination restaurant and cooking school emphasizes hyperlocal production—about 90% of ingredients come from on‑site greenhouses and gardens—and practices whole‑animal butchery, in‑house cheese and charcuterie, bread baking and preservation/fermentation. Offerings range from multi‑course tasting menus paired with predominantly Tasmanian beverages to casual kiosk fare enjoyed on the lawn, plus guided garden tours and hands‑on classes (cheesemaking, croissant baking, wild game cooking)." - Nicholas DeRenzo
