Day tours
Brewery and winery day tour
A tasting trail only works if nobody has to drive. That is the whole service.
How we build it
Tell us how many venues you want and how long you want at each, and we will build a route that is actually achievable. Three or four stops in a day is comfortable; six is a bus tour of car parks. We will say so.
The region
The Wide Bay–Burnett has a genuine craft drinks scene — brewing around Hervey Bay and the Bundaberg coast, and small cellar doors and fruit wineries through the Childers and Isis district. Bundaberg's rum distillery and the Bundaberg Barrel ginger beer operation are the two headline names, and they anchor a lot of itineraries.
Bookings at venues
Small cellar doors and breweries often need advance notice for a group, and some have limited opening days. Book the venues before you lock the charter date, and tell us which ones you have confirmed so we can time the run.
Responsible service
Venues apply responsible service of alcohol rules, and so do we. Our driver will not board a passenger who is unsafe to travel, and alcohol on board is only permitted where the vehicle and booking allow it and it has been agreed in writing beforehand.
Getting it right
- Three or four venues is a good day
- Book venues before the charter date
- Include a proper food stop, not just snacks
- Confirm opening days — many are limited
- Tell us your final group number
We can suggest a route shape, but we do not book venues on your behalf unless the quote says so.
Questions about tasting tours
Do you choose the venues?
We will suggest a workable route shape and realistic timings. You choose and book the venues, which keeps you in control of the day and avoids markup.
How many stops fit in a day?
Three or four with proper time at each. More than that and you spend the day on the bus.
Can we drink between venues?
Only where the vehicle and booking allow it and it has been agreed in writing beforehand. Ask at quote stage.
