The beautiful little town of Cooran is home to independent, family owned Noosa Hinterland Brewing Co. This is a true microbrewery with the brew-kit and fermenters visible just over the bar. You’ll be visiting on a day that they’re not open to the public, so you’ll be able to pull up a stool at the bar and see the brewing process in action. Chat to the brewer or owner one-on-one with plenty of opportunities to ask questions and discuss the beers.

Then enjoy a tasting paddle with 4 beers chosen by the brewer for you. What do you get when you combine a distinguished chef and an aircraft engineer with a passion for innovation and quality Mead? Amrita Park Meadery. Learn the art of Mead making as passed down through the generations. Owners Nicola and Andy will have you truly engaged as they take you through bee keeping, the benefits and history of Mead. Andy comes from a family with a long history of beekeeping and Mead making and has a passion for all things Mead. Enjoy a guided tasting session with Andy and Nicola in their unique tasting room before heading to the lawn for a morning tea of fresh baked goods and seasonal fruit.

Your next destination is beautiful Dingo Creek Vineyard. Enjoy a wine tasting of 6 of their premium wines. Then relax on the deck overlooking the vineyard while feasting on scrumptious grazing platters of cheese, cold cuts, dried and fresh fruit, nuts, dips and breads.
