We’re so thrilled to be featured in Hello Sunshine Magazine!
We recently met up with John from Hello Sunshine to share the stories behind some of the amazing venues we visit on our tours.
Located in the charming town of Cooran, this small-batch brewery is full of character—think rustic timber, local vibes, and cold beer poured just metres from where it’s brewed.
👉Find it on: Noosa Hinterland Drinks Tour
⭐ Favourite Drink: Cooran Crusher – Gold medal winner at the 2024 Royal QLD Beer Awards. Not too heavy, not too light—just crisp, cold, and perfect for a sunny arvo.
Tucked away in the hills of Maleny, Brouhaha is all about fresh, local flavours and small-batch craft. Their new production brewery in Aura is impressive, but this cosy original spot still holds a special charm.
👉 Find it on: Hinterland Cheese & Wine Tour
⭐ Favourite Drink: Strawberry Rhubarb Sour – A tart, fruity crowd-pleaser brewed with local strawberries. Light, refreshing, and the perfect balance of sweet and sour—it’s summer in a glass.
Set amongst the rainforest near Woombye, this boutique distillery brings botanical brilliance to every drop. With spirits inspired by the local landscape, it’s a truly sensory experience.
👉 Find it on: Hinterland Cheese & Wine Tour
⭐ Favourite Drink: Parfait Gin – A tropical fruit salad gin bursting with pineapple, passionfruit, and coconut. Inspired by the Big Pineapple and packed with 70s nostalgia, it tastes like a holiday (or dessert).
A working winery and farm with sweeping views over Montville and the hinterland. Their estate-grown wines and paddock-to-plate produce make this a must-visit for foodies and wine lovers alike.
👉 Find it on: Hinterland Cheese & Wine Tour
⭐ Favourite Drink: Montville Chardonnay – Grown on rich red soils using older Mendoza clones, this warm-climate Chardonnay is full of character, with a richer colour and flavour than your typical coastal white.
Independent and unfiltered, Sunshine Brewery in Kuluin is passionate about bold flavours and creative brews. A friendly, no-frills space for beer lovers of all stripes.
👉 Find it on: Sunshine Coast Craft Beer Tour – Coastal Hop
⭐ Favourite Drink: Chai Porter – A seasonal special brewed with chai spice from Sunshine Coast Roastery. Think creamy porter meets spiced chai latte—unexpected, delicious, and brewed right here on the Coast.
