What’s On

The Best of Tasmania Never Reaches a Menu. It Arrives in Person.

The grower, the distiller, the fisher, the maker — drawn to a long table by the water to share the work of their hands. Our gatherings are open to those staying with us and to our West Coast neighbours, held together by the same harbour and the same season.

The Living Story Series 

People gathered around serving oysters at a private cocktail party event in The Mill at Risby Cove, with warm ambient lighting in the background.
A person holds a wooden tray with black lobster brioche canapés, with several other people in the background at a gathering or party.

An evening with the people behind the produce. Each gathering brings one Tasmanian maker to Risby Cove to share their craft, their story, and a meal built around what they bring. Long tables, banquets by the fireplace, and the harbour going quiet beyond the glass.

Coming Up

Upcoming gatherings on the Cove. Booking opens roughly a month before each date. Note prepayment is required at time of booking.

More Dates Coming Soon...
