From the art of cider-making to the subtleties of fine chocolate, each stop is a chapter in the story of local craftsmanship. Join us for a day of exploration, taste, and unforgettable memories

Sunshine Coast Cider

Sunshine Coast Cider’s founder Martin is a fifth-generation cider maker originally from Switzerland, where his family made farmhouse cider in massive barrels underneath their house. Now he’s brought his expertise to the Sunshine Coast, and his specialty is méthode traditionnelle cider, better known as champagne-style cider. Martin and his team will welcome you with a glass of brut+ cider, and you’ll enjoy a tour of the Cidery, a demo of the making process and, of course, a tasting of Sunshine Coast Cider’s core range of cider and perry.

Dingo Creek, Traveston

At Dingo Creek Traveston, the second jewel in our “Sip and Savour” crown, you’ll be enveloped by the serene beauty of the hinterlands as you step into a world where wine is the whispered language of tradition and taste.  In the cool of the cellar or the dappled sunlight of the vineyard, you’ll be guided through a selection of the estate’s finest vintages. Each sip is a testament to the winery’s dedication to balance, complexity, and a true expression of the Sunshine Coast terroir. 

Pomona Distillery

Following the vinous delights at Dingo Creek, the Pomona Distillery welcomes you as an oasis of culinary and distilling arts in the heart of the Sunshine Coast. As the scents of the distillery’s botanicals mingle with the aromas of expertly prepared cuisine, you’ll sit down to a one-course lunch.

Each dish is paired with a ‘perfect serve’ drink, crafted to complement the meal and highlight the distillery’s spirit craftsmanship.

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.

Noosa Natural Chocolate Co.

As the last stop of the day, you’ll visit Noosa Natural Chocolate Co where you will hand-pick a luxury choice of premium chocolate to take home with you to enjoy in your accommodation or back home.

Full marks to our tour guide. Thanks Jan!Response from the ownerThank you Mannie, we'll be sure to pass on your feedback to Jan. Thank you for the review. Mike C.Mike C. ★★★★☆ Jan, our Tour Guide was fabulous! Her knowledge was exceptional.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).Response from the ownerThank you Mike for providing your thoughts as requested by Jan. Happy to say we have fine tuned the itinerary with revised timings and order of visits. We certainly hope to see you next visit.
