Discover Ranelagh

Ranelagh offers several reasons to plan your stay around a specific experience: at Kiln Collective, a guided cheese and wine dining experience for two is the focus, alongside A Taste of the Huon and the Huon Show, which are held annually. The offerings differ both in theme and timing. You can decide whether to make a food experience, a festival of regional food and art, or an agricultural program the occasion for your trip.

A culinary visit to Kiln Collective

Kiln Collective in Ranelagh is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00 am to 3:00 pm; reservations and walk-ins are welcome. As opening hours may change, check them before your visit. The cheese and wine dining experience is designed for two people and includes a guided introduction to the featured producers and products. The offering therefore pairs cheese and wine with an informative look at the producers and products presented during the dining experience. If this experience is central to your stay, factor in both the Collective's visiting days and the latest details of the dining offering when planning.

A Taste of the Huon over the March long weekend

A Taste of the Huon is held every year on the Sunday and Monday of the March long weekend in Ranelagh. The festival celebrates fine food, wine and drinks, as well as entertainment, art and craft from the Huon Valley and the Channel region. Culinary and cultural themes sit side by side; the connection to both regions is an explicit part of the festival. The March long weekend gives your planning a time anchor. If you are travelling for the event, confirm the dates for the relevant year in advance.

Agricultural themes at the Huon Show

The Huon Agricultural Society holds the Huon Show annually at the Ranelagh Recreation Ground in Ranelagh. Program highlights include an agricultural machinery display, cattle and horse judging, homecrafts, school presentations and woodchopping. The agricultural focus distinguishes the show from A Taste of the Huon, which celebrates food, drinks, art and craft. Individual Huon Show program items may vary from year to year. Check the current date and program before travelling.

Plan your experience and travel dates together

Both your preferred focus and the timing matter when choosing between the offerings: A Taste of the Huon takes place over the March long weekend, the Huon Show has its own annual program, and the dining experience at Kiln Collective is designed for two people. If you are planning as a family, take the interests of everyone travelling into account: a dining experience for two offers a different setting from an event with multiple program items.
