Really enjoyed the nature walks, glow worm cave experience, lunch, quick shopping and enjoying some wine tasting!
Our tour host is very accommodating and drives really well! We had very nice chats along the way! Thank you!
Tanbourine is an incredibly beautiful place with nice local vineyards. We visited 2 of these. Very nice people everywhere.
What made the trip extra special was the driver Andy from pineapple tour.
He is absolutely incredible and makes sure everyone has a great trip and makes sure everyone gets where they are going.
Thank you Andy from 2 very satisfied norwegians!

Our pick up was prompt and the driver (Anthony) was so welcoming, knowledgeable and entertaining.
The entry to each venue was so easy and we enjoyed testing many different wines.
We loved the Witches Falls winery and the food at Hamptons was excellent.
Cannot fault the day we had and the people we met.
We want to do it again with friends or family.
Thanks so much.
Thank you to Michelle and Pineapple tours for an amazing winery tour! We enjoyed our time from start to finish- it was a day full of great vineyards with delicious wines, a brewery and a distillery! As our fearless leader Michelle took the time to point out interesting areas, gave us some history of the area, as well as making sure we were all on schedule (and for our group- it was no easy task!). Thank you for a wonderful day on Tambourine Mountian!
Thank you Anthony and Pineapple tours for a wonderful day full adventure! When Anthony came to pick us up we discussed our hopes for the day and he exceeded all expectations and managed to fit everything in! We saw glow worms, hiked to a few waterfalls, enjoyed lunch with stunning views and delicious food, and visited the botanical gardens. Our day flew by and it was one we will never forget! Thanks for being our guide Anthony!
Cedar Creek falls and Skyline was beautiful- even in the downpour. Our tour guide had a time slot to return to the Glow worm Caves.
Always book in advance for anything else you may want to do. We went with a hop on hop off tour, so had tickets included for the Glow Worms, but some group members booked with the Skyline Tour and had to sit and wait while rest of group went in, as the venue was sold out. Those on the Winery Tour swapped buses.
Would be better to know at time of booking that you could add on other sights as part of the excursion to guarantee an entry place. I made a friend who booked the Skyline tour and there were tickets I could purchase separately -well worth seeing.
Totally recommend using Pineapple, especially if travelling alone, as it was a smaller crowd and the drivers were friendly and the mini bus comfortable. They said we could go to wherever we wanted and they’d come back and collect us. In reality, as we didn’t really know anywhere, the tour could include the main sights in a logical order.
I was however, underwhelmed by the glow worms!
Thanks for a lovely day Pineapple- I would suggest a pickup point near a bus station for those who had to travel into the City to take the tour.
Once this happened straight after that our tour guide treated us like we were the problem and didn’t even bother to ask us what our story was.
So all in all long story short very unfair and almost ruined the day. Especially since it was a Birthday.
The wineries are local and authentic
Our drivers (Mikayela and Scotty) elevated the experience with their local knowledge and their genuine friendly nature. We loved it and would recommend this tour to GC locals and tourists!
Lunch was included and it was very tasty, and the portions were generous too. We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it.
She wasn't pushy with her sales pitch but had been so accommodating.
Great selections of wine 🍷 👌 😋
We had tried several types of wine, liqueur, tawny, and several shots of strong spirits with alcohol 🍸 contents ranging between 40 to 60 per cent.
The food was awesome 👌 👏 👍 with good servings. The beef cheek was superbly prepared and cooked.
At the end of our trip, a quick nap was needed. LOL 😆. Alcohol has kicked in, I guess 😅
BTW, kudos to Michelle for a smooth ride
Thanks, Pineapple Tour's, for a great wine tour!
Lunch stop was phenomenal highly recommend the salmon!
Scotty took us on a journey through the mountain visiting stunning locations with a history lesson of each venue. The staff at the wineries were wonderful, the food was delicious, and the tastings were educational and a lot of fun!
Would highly recommend this company if you are wishing to to enjoy wine on the beautiful QLD country side.
Mind was our guide/driver on our Tambourine mountain tour to glow worm cave, sky walk and lunch at St Bernard Hotel. We had a great day out thanks to Mind.
Great view points, lovely little shopping street with arts and crafts items and vineyards to visit.
Well done Mind and Pineapple tours.
Right from pick up we had a fabulous day, even though the weather was not what was forecasted, the rain didn’t dampen any of the trip. The wineries, distillery, lunch and Scotty where top class. I would recommend this tour to anyone and look forward to doing it again when we next visit Brisbane.
Lunch was excellent - choices to accommodate all dietary requirements and really tasty food.
Would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants a fun day of wine tasting!
Wasted a day of our holiday
Our driver / guide Dario was amazing … don’t think I’ve ever had such a nicer driver in any tour. He was seriously super nice. Nothing was too much trouble. Just an all-round nice guy and he was perfect for this job because I know he has a lot of other jobs! Thanks
Starting with the comfort of getting picked up at your front door then off for lunch at Farm and co, followed by drinks at Husk distillery to then finish with a breathtaking sunset at Tropical Fruit World. Our little one managed to fell asleep on the way home.
Our guide Pete was sharing stories on every place we visited which made our experience complete, thanks Pete!
Great day and memories
The wineries were pretty and had some decent wines to taste. The distillery was great with a bunch of infused products and some delightful Xcellos.
