Bruny Island Cheese Company

The Bruny Island Cheese Company sits on Bruny Island Main Road at Great Bay, on beautiful Bruny Island off Tasmania's south-east coast. A renowned producer of artisan cheese — and, alongside it, craft beer — it's a star of the island's celebrated food trail, the kind of quality, only-in-Tassie destination that's become a must for food lovers visiting the island.

The appeal is that combination of genuinely excellent artisan cheese, house-brewed beer and the experience of tasting at the source, in a lovely island setting. Bruny Island has earned a stellar reputation for its produce, and a stop here — to taste the cheese, enjoy a beer and soak up the relaxed surrounds — is a highlight for many visitors exploring the island's food trail.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,700 reviews, it's clearly a hugely popular destination. The cheese and beer range, any food, tastings, opening hours and pricing vary, and it gets busy, so it's worth checking current details before you go — particularly as part of planning a Bruny Island day trip — while looking forward to tasting the cheese and beer at Great Bay.
