Turn left 1km beyond the Denison Canal to discover this excellent vineyard cafe, sitting atop an open rise on one of Tasmania's oldest family farms – it's been in the Dunbabin family for five generations. The cellar door doubles as a restaurant with local oysters (try the red wine vinegar, shallots and pepper dressing) and more substantial mains (sautéed abalone, calamari salad).
