Beachtree Distilling Co - Cellar Door, Caloundra, Sunshine Coast

Beachtree Distilling Co’s Cellar Door offers a planned, personal way to explore locally made spirits in Caloundra. Visits are by appointment only, with the team asking guests to contact hello@beachtree.com.au so they can be ready to pour and host rather than leave visitors waiting while the distillery is operating. It is a good option for spirit enthusiasts, couples or small groups who prefer arranging their visit in advance and tasting at the source.

The range is built around organic Australian sugarcane rather than grain, with the distillery producing naturally gluten-free spirits without artificial flavours, oils, preservatives or other additives. Native botanicals are central to the style, bringing Australian ingredients and a clear sense of place to the gins and liqueurs. The website highlights Organic Koala Native Citrus Gin, Organic Quokka Native Berry Gin, Organic Native Skippy Gin and Beachtree Twilight Blue Gin Liqueur, alongside vodka, rum, whisky and gift options. Cocktail inspiration is also provided online, including serves such as the Native Skippy Highball, Quokka and Tonic, and Koala Gin Mule.

The distillery’s approach is closely tied to sustainability. Beachtree says it is solar-powered and supports native tree planting and wildlife conservation through its You Sip, We Plant initiative, with more than 25,000 trees planted through its partners, local nurseries, community organisations and First Nations growers. That gives the cellar door experience more context than a simple retail stop: visitors can learn about the ingredients, production methods and environmental goals behind the bottles.

Beachtree was founded by Kirra and Steve. Kirra brings a background in science, health and nutrition, as well as a strong interest in gin and food, while Steve, a Kamilaroi man with an engineering background, developed the distillation and filtration methods used to create the spirits’ softer finish. Their story connects technical craft with Australian botanicals, community and care for Country. The distillery has also received international recognition, including World’s Best Craft Producer in 2024 and 2025 and World’s Best Sustainable Distillery in 2025. For anyone exploring the Sunshine Coast’s drinks producers, an appointment at this Caloundra cellar door offers a direct look at an award-winning Australian spirits maker.
