What to expect
Like beer? Like wine? Like whisky? Can’t decide what you’d like to taste?
You don’t need to because our Wine, Beer & Whisky Trail has everything. And because we do all the planning, booking and driving, all you have to do is turn up and enjoy the experience!
You can mix it up in comfort and style as we pick you up from your chosen pick-up point in our COVID-safe air-conditioned minibus. We’ll drive you in luxury through the beautiful foothills of the spectacular Blackall Range to our first stop, the iconic Clouds Vineyard, which showcases a range of handcrafted wines and beers in its barrel-shaped Tasting Hall.
After a refreshing sip (or two) it’s time to jump back in the minibus for the scenic route towards Maleny and your second stop, the awesomely Germanic King Ludwig’s Restaurant & Bar. Sit down to an amazingly authentic award-winning German lunch and a choice of tasty Teutonic beers as you gaze at the spectacular views of the Glasshouse Mountains.
As an alternative lunch venue, Brouhaha Brewery shares its love for quality food and beer with the people. Their core range of beers has been carefully crafted and designed to tempt beer drinkers to start a journey with craft brewing and to encourage people to drink better beer. Their seasonal menu is designed with minimal intervention to allow for the fresh Sunshine Coast produce to shine.
After lunch, head back to the 1950s at Rick’s Garage, a vibrant retro diner with a specialist whisky bar and heaps of laid-back atmosphere. When you’ve had time to discover your rockabilly roots, we’ll drive you on to your final stop.
The last stop of the day is at an awesome local Sunshine Coast Craft Beer brewery to taste fresh, locally brewed beer! After you’ve totally chilled out, it’s time to head back to your chosen drop-off point. We’ll wake you when we get there!

Recommended with good value for money.
Chris and Juan
We booked this tour with no expectation or knowledge. We were collected from our accommodation bang on time and, as there were only eight of us, were at the markets nice and early our driver was fabulous. The drive was terrific. We were given three hours and then come back but no one was rushed.
I would highly recommend this tour. It is well priced ,on time ,clean and efficient and extremely friendly thank you Ron
Only note, they need to fix where it says to be picked up. There is NO pick up point at the Coco, first pick up point is the Mantra. We confirmed the pick up point the day prior to our tour.
There was also plenty of time to explore the beautiful scenery/lookouts and time to wander the fabulous little boutique shops and just breathe in the fresh air!
Would highly recommend this day tour!
Thank you and it’s a day my hubby and I will always remember!

We did the whole package with bee talk and factory tour
Gail is a bee keeper and very knowledgeable and such a delight to talk to. The factory tour was informative and the guide was also easy to listen too. Parking was out on the street even tho we were early the car park was full.great day
They personally picked us up from Mooloolaba with our tour
starting with a trip up to Mary Cairncross Rainforest reserve where we had a light morning tea with Bubbles of course 🥂
Then to Maleny Chocolate Factory where we could choose a take home gift 🎁 what a suprise. 🤗😋
Next stop was to King Ludwigs Restaurant, Bier & Wein Bar in Maleny for the most informative and entertaining wine / beer tasting ever 🍷🍺.Bravo 🙌🙌🙌
Gerrads lookout was next on our agenda and the views back to the Coast didn't disappoint .
Lunch was at Secrets on the Lake at Montville, such an awesome space so tranquil.
Oh my what a treat , such a beautiful lunch and dessert 😋 🥂🍺🍹we were each given a red rose on departure by the Matre d'
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
We felt very special! 😊
Our next destination The Flamehill winery where we sampled some lovely wines while looking over beautiful views 🍾🥃🥂
Last but certainly not least we ended our tour at Sunshine and Sons Distillery @ Woombye for Vodka, Gin and Rum tasting, owner Micheal and his lovely assistant Ash took us through a myriad of sensational tastes each one quite unique.
Our Tour guides Owner Mark aka 'Pine nuts' and his assistant Mark made our day delightful in every way nothing was too much trouble, their service was exemplary.
Thank you.😊
We did a couple of tours with them.
Amazing and helpful staff. Very accommodating and friendly.
Know their stuff.
Long & full day 👍👍
I was also driven to the Eumendi market Mark, then taook a tour to the Ginger Factory with David, again a most enjoyable day.
The tour took us to 3 very different distilleries with lunch at Mr Jones & Me, and we left very happy and very full; the meal came with with an entree and main or dessert and main, and the entrees were so large we almost didn’t need the main also!
All of the distilleries had great gins, with the first also having cane spirit and rums and the second offering a beer paddle for those that wanted to switch it up. A discount on take home products was available at the first venue as an added benefit!
Thanks for a wonderful tour, and we’ll be using Coast to Hinterland again!
Vehicles are air conditioned and comfortable.
Everything was professionally done
Jan was excellent with the info on the tour
We enjoyed every aspect of the tour but felt that the order of the venues was back to front. It started with a chocolate factory, cheese factory, lunch , and wine tasting.
We completely understand that things are done in order of where they are located, but a slight change could be cheese factory, lunch, wine tasting, and then chocolate.
I would have loved to hear more about each business by the owner instead of just putting their beautiful food in front of us and walking away.
That aside, we had a great day and enjoyed it immensely.
Thank you, Jan. We enjoyed having you as our guide, and you made the tour awesome for us.
All the best from Mike, Matt, and Paul (The Cheeky Kiwi's).
Jeff our driver/ Guide was knowledgeable in every aspect a pleasure to have met him!
