Tas Cheesery, Bream Creek, Tasmania

Bream Creek is a rural food and farming district on Tasmania’s south-east coast, east of Hobart. It is home to Tasmanian Cheesery, which sits within a landscape shaped by small dairy farms, cool-climate produce and a strong connection to the land.

A district with deep dairy roots

Bream Creek developed through the late nineteenth century around a school, churches and small dairy farms. Its fertile soils and temperate coastal climate proved well suited to dairying, with local farms once supplying milk to the nearby Pembroke butter factory.

That agricultural heritage remains part of the district today, alongside mixed farming, local produce and a growing food-tourism culture.

Wine, produce and local makers

Bream Creek is also known for cool-climate wine, notably Bream Creek Vineyard, planted in 1974 and one of Tasmania’s oldest commercial vineyards. The wider area has become a rewarding destination for oysters, seasonal produce, farmers’ markets and small regional producers.

Tasmanian Cheesery belongs naturally in this food landscape, celebrating the flavours and produce of Tasmania’s south-east coast.

When to visit Bream Creek

Late summer and early autumn are especially good times to visit, when local apples and pears are at their peak. The Bream Creek Farmers Market is held on the first Sunday of each month and is a lovely place to meet local growers and makers.

Allow time for a walk along nearby Marion Bay Beach too, where the rural landscape gives way to Tasmania’s wild and beautiful coastline.
