Sydney
Convict-era pubs, working-class brewing precincts, and the Hunter Valley a comfortable bus-ride away. Sydney is our flagship region and where it all started.
Sugar-cane rum, tropical-fruit wine, and a reef-side beer garden. The Far North's drinks scene is small, surprising, and rewards the curious traveller.
The Far North is the youngest scene in our network — and the most surprising. Sugar-cane rum from the Mossman cane fields. Tropical fruit wine from the Atherton Tablelands. A small but excellent craft brewery overlooking the reef.
Our Cairns crew runs three tours. They’re slow-paced by our network’s standards (the climate forces it), and they lean more on regional production and food than the southern city tours. Best between April and October — the wet season is genuinely too hot for daytime tasting.
Cairns Rum & Cane Tour. A working sugar mill, a small-batch rum distillery, and a tasting-and-tour at the country’s only mill-to-bottle rum producer.
Atherton Tablelands Wine Day. Three small producers working with mango, lychee, and other tropical fruit. Strange, surprisingly serious, and not available anywhere else in Australia.
Reef-Side Brewery Sunset. A single stop, a single brewer, and the best beer-garden view in the country. Two hours, very chill, perfect for the last day of a longer trip.
A lot of guests pair Canberra with Sydney or the Hunter. We co-ordinate the booking across the network.

Craft beer in industrial Brunswick, pinot noir in the Yarra, gin on the Mornington — Melbourne's drinks scene rewards the curious traveller more than any other city.
More distilleries per square kilometre than any city on earth — and a food and beer scene to match. Tasmania is the under-rated drinks destination of the country.
