What to expect

You'll be picked up from your accommodation early morning and driven through rolling hinterland terrain in a comfortable vehicle with reclining seats. The route winds past farms, forests and ridges with frequent photo stops. Mid-morning brings mead or craft beer tasting at a working estate. Around noon you'll reach a vineyard where a sommelier guides you through several wines paired with a cheese board. Lunch follows at a country restaurant—usually a proper sit-down meal with your choice of wine, beer or soft drink. The afternoon includes a stroll around the Noosa Everglades with tea or coffee, then the scenic drive back downhill to the coast.
