What to expect

We’ll pick you and your group up from a location of your choice bright and
early and welcome you aboard our comfortable, COVID-safe minibus. We’ll drive
you in air-conditioned luxury through the Sunshine Coast’s pretty scenery to
our first stop, the small and cozy Cellar Door at Sunshine Coast Cider. Here
you’ll learn about the cider-making process directly from the maker and enjoy
sampling some of the champagne-style cider that’s made on-site.

Next, it’s a short drive through the spectacular scenery of Noosa’s Hinterland
to the alternative town of Pomona, nestled at the foot of Mt Cooroora. You’ll
be welcomed to an amazing boutique meadery – the Amrita Park Meadery. Mead
needs honey, so you may see some honey bees buzzing around the beautiful
gardens. You’ll find out more about this fascinating, ancient beverage – and
taste a few, of course!

You’ll have worked up an appetite so we’ll pop you back in the minibus for the
short drive to the relaxed, trendy ambience of the Imperial Hotel in Eumundi –
there’s lots of space to stretch out, a cool gin distillery out front and a
brewery outback. Enjoy a delicious lunch and time to rest and digest – and of
course, there is the option for a tasting from a tempting array of gin blends
or craft beer – before we head off back through pretty scenery to the Fortune
still at Noosa Heads Brewery, which produces vodka and a white malt as well as
a range of iconic gins.

There’s plenty of time for you to enjoy a tasting before we round you up for
the short drive back to your chosen drop-off location late afternoon.
