- Sunshine & Sons - Your Distillery Door Day Tour begins in the morning when our friendly and experienced driver will welcome you aboard our comfy, COVID-safe minibus. Fasten your seatbelt and select the perfect soundtrack for your day, and it’s off to your first stop: Sunshine & Sons distillery door, where we will arrive mid-morning.
This exquisite distillery is the brainchild of four lifelong friends who decided to combine their love of the Sunshine Coast with their experience in and adoration for beautifully handcrafted spirits. Their specialities include a range of magnificent vodkas and gins, as well as a Sunshine Coast cane spirit.
You and your group will be welcomed in for a talk and tasting of their finest gins.
- Noosa Heads Distillery - Renowned for its craft beer, the Fortune is the brewery’s little secret. The Fortune team uses local ingredients to produce a range of fine spirits – vodka and a white malt as well as medal-winning gins and rum – and Head Distiller Jack and his team will welcome you to chat about all things gin.
And, of course, your visit wouldn’t be complete without the opportunity to taste the Fortune Distillery’s finest. If you feel like you’ve had your fill of gin for the day (although we’re not sure that’s even possible!), you might opt instead for a tasting paddle of the brewery’s finest beers.
- Beachtree Distilling Co - Cellar Door, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast - Located in Caloundra, Beachtree Distillery is home to small-batch, handcrafted artisan spirits created using aromatic native botanicals, designed to take you on a journey across great Australian landscapes. Founded in 2020, Beachtree is already making waves across the Sunshine Coast with mouth-watering spirits and sustainable, ethical practices, from the organic sugarcane used in the cane-based spirit, to the waste-free distillation process. Here you can enjoy a gin tasting and talk.
- Steampunk Distillery - Alternatively, opt to enjoy a gin tasting and talk at Steampunk Distillery located in the charming hinterland. Take in the beautiful scenery as you sample the magnificent products of this home-based business ran by two nurses. Many of the botanicals utilised in the small batch, handcrafted spirits are homegrown or locally sources, and the results are spectacular.
