Your Perfect Day, Planned Just For You

The tour starts mid-morning at your chosen pick-up point on the Sunshine Coast. Relax on the short drive or, if your group is feeling upbeat, bring your music to get the party started.

Brouhaha Brewery

Soon, you’ll be rolling up to the first of our four Sunshine Coast breweries, Brouhaha. It’s a production brewery capable of pouring forth Sunshine Coast craft beer like a seemingly limitless underground spring. Brouhaha Sunshine Coast is a happening place – a bar and taproom at one end of the space is where punters can enjoy the fruits of the brewers’ labour with a coastal vibe. Sixteen taps pour beers of all tastes.

Your Mates Brewing Co

Jump back in the minibus for the short drive to your next stop, Warana-based Your Mates Brewing Co, a uniquely successful craft brewery (Best New Brewery Beery Award 2019) with an awesome from-underdog-to-top-dog backstory, an array of popular beers and damn good food.

Hep and McGarry, the co-founders of Your Mates, say that their brewery is built on good mates, good times and good beer – and it shows! As soon as you step inside, you’ll feel right at home.

Tuck into your freshly prepared lunch with local produce along with a taste of Larry, an Australian pale ale that was Your Mates’ first-ever local beer – and voted the 4th most popular beer in all of Australia. Pretty good going, huh? With two brew kits, Your Mates can brew 6,000 litres of local beer at a time, and with the kegs and fermenters, there’s a heck of a lot of beer on the go. There are 12 beers on tap and a few experimental and small batches that are only available on-site.

10 Toes Brewery

After lunch, it’s time to get back on the road to drive to the popular Maroochydore surfing resort, Alexandra Headland, for your third and final stop, 10 Toes Brewery. Founded by Rupert and Kelly, an ex-corporate couple who saw the light, it has quickly gained a reputation and followers for the diverse range and depth of its beers.

Its core range includes super thirst-quenching Hell Yes German-style lager, brewed with Pilsner malts and Motueka hops; rich chocolatey Alter Ego, a vanilla porter; and tropical Pipeline pale ale.

Coolum Beer Company Inc. Tour Tastings

Discover the craft and passion behind Coolum Beer Company’s unique brews. Take the last stop to their facilities (when available) and indulge in a tasting session featuring their signature beers. Each brew is crafted with precision and care, offering a true taste of the Sunshine Coast’s vibrant beer culture.

Myself & a friend went on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Scenic Culinary Experience: Discover Montville and Maleny, I feel for what we got from the tour it was very overpriced. We went cheese tasting at a shop in Maleny & then "chocolate tasting" at a different shop, we were offered to try a piece of 3 different chocolates on a plate in the middle of the shop floor. It would have been a better experience if we went somewhere that showed you how the cheese and/or chocolate was made. There were 5 of us in total in the trip & we were all under the impression that we would be visiting a winery at some point but all we received were two glasses of wine at lunch. The town of Maleny was beautiful, we had lunch at Secrets by the lake & it was wonderful we then headed for Montville but unfortunately by the time we arrived there most of the shops were closed or closing. Our tour guide for the day was Lucas & he was fantastic, very knowledgeable, very friendly & a lot of fun, he was the person that made the tour worthwhile. For $275 per person I feel we should have been offered more.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your feedback on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland Scenic Culinary Experience. We’re sorry to hear the tour didn’t fully meet your expectations. While our website reflects the inclusions, we agree it may need a review to ensure everything is clearer. Your constructive feedback is very much appreciated, as it helps us ensure we meet and exceed expectations in the future.

We did the Scenic Food and Wine tour today with our guide Jan and a wonderful family from Norway. What a day! Jan was amazing, fun, and knowledgeable. Do this tour everyone if you have a day free. The wine, chocolate, and cheese tasting were great. the meal and hospitality at Secrets on the Lake were perfect, and Jan made sure we had time to tour the townships, spend time viewing beautiful scenery and we had the chance encounter paragliding launch. Top tour and guide
Response from the owner:And what a perfect time to visit the Sunshine Coast Andrea to explore our Hinterland region thank you for the review

Bruce M.
We would have liked to have fine weather for the Culinary tour experience of the Hinterland. The tastings were good and the lunch stop was very scenic. Our bus driver, Lucas, was very helpful and did his best to accommodate the dreadful weather. No lookout photos, just whiteout. I'm sure that in good weather, this trip would be well worth the time as it is a beautiful part of the Sunshine Coast and a great day out.
Response from the owner:Thank you Bruce, one thing we can't control is the weather on the day however the Hinterland has its own climate to some degree. Many thanks for taking the time to leave a review.

Kudos to Coast to Hinterland Tours, we had an early staff Christmas Party yesterday, what an absolute awesome day we all had.

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.😊
Response from the owner:So funny, who is this ‘pinenutz”. Thank you for taking the time to review. It was our pleasure to show you around the Hinterland for your Christmas social get-together.

We took the Eumundi Markets Group Transfer Tour on Saturday 7/9/24. It was perfect. We were picked up from our accomodation at Noosa Lakes Resort and dropped off at the market. Three hours at the market was just the right amount of time to see everything. We were then picked up and taken back to our accomodation. The bus was clean and comfortable. The drver was polite and friendly. We avoided any hassles with parking around the market. We thought it was well worthwhile and would recommend it.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for your review. Very much appreciated.

Hi Mark. I meant to get back to you earlier about our tour. I filled out one of your surveys but can I just say, we had such a fantastic day. David was an absolutely terrific guide and driver. He was extremely accommodating and it made for an excellent day out at the breweries. I will be sure to pass on my recommendation to as many people as I can.
