Savory Experiences at Saffire Freycinet
Saffire is intent on connection to place and in a short period of time the resort has become synonymous with culinary excellence and meaningful food and wine experiences that involve exploration of this amazing region and connection to the characters on the East Coast of Tasmania that have won national acclaim for their produce such as the Fisher family at Freycinet Marine Farm and Claudio Radenti at Freycinet Vineyard. The compelling combination of the magical settings, the freshest of produce and the enjoyment of being immersed in the methods and stories make for truly memorable food and wine occasions with true Saffire flair.
