Wayfarer Craybake – Food & Wine Festival 2026
January 24–25, 2026 | River Run Lodge, Strathblane

Celebrate the Deep South's proud cray fishing community at the Wayfarer Craybake – a vibrant food and wine festival set on the riverbank at River Run Lodge in Strathblane. This two-day summer event brings together the best of Tasmania's local seafood, wine, and live entertainment in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere.

Feast on fresh cray straight from the pots, indulge in delicious offerings from artisan food trucks, and sip on a curated selection of local wines, ciders, and beers. Kids can enjoy dedicated entertainment zones while adults unwind to the sounds of live Tasmanian musicians.

Nestled between river and forest, the Craybake is the perfect excuse for a weekend getaway. Spend the day soaking up the community spirit and coastal charm.

Whether you're a local or visiting from afar, come hungry, come thirsty, and come ready to experience the flavour and heart of Tasmania's Deep South.
