Winery - Gourmet Trail

You will be picked up from your door and taken to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland for a day of relaxation and indulgence.

Start the day with refreshments of your choice at Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve overlooking the panoramic Glasshouse Mountains or perhaps take the time to walk in the sub tropical rainforest before going to Maleny Mountain Wines to sample quality wines in a relaxed and friendly environment. Local art and produce are featured in the big barrel where the tastings are held. This is enjoyable and informative with some humour on the side.

You can watch cheese, yoghurt and butter being made on the premises at Maleny Cheese. Tastings of the exquisite range of premium quality dairy goods are provided, whilst the friendly staff will tell you some of the background and working of this successful local produce. Ask about the handmade swiss chocolates and see if you can resist.

Travelling north along the range brings panoramic views to the Sunshine Coast, Lake Baroon & green rolling hills. Arriving in Montville we head for Settlers Rise Vineyard & Winery, nestled amongst the vines is a beautiful old Queenslander homestead with welcoming wide verandahs. Settle in to enjoy the excellent range of award winning wines presented in style by the team at Settlers Rise. You will come away with a greater understanding of Queensland wines. Stunning coastal & valley views are a bonus to this total experience.

Lunch at Le Relais Bressan restaurant is a gourmet delight in the flavours of French Provincial cooking. Your host Theirry provides an authentic atmosphere with fine food, wine and quality service.

Flaxton Grove Estate is a beautiful venue with the cellar door opening out to rose gardens & the panorama of the Coast beyond. Relax and enjoy the range of Queensland wines presented in this tranquil location.

Time to take you safely home.
