Sunshine Coast Craft Beer Tours

Sunshine Coast Craft Beer Tours is a tour operator based in Maroochydore, taking guests behind the scenes at breweries, craft beer bars, wineries, distilleries and other food and drink destinations across the Sunshine Coast, Hinterland and Noosa. Rather than being a single brewery to visit, it offers guided experiences that connect local beer and produce with the stories of the people who make them.

Tours run as full- or half-day experiences and include air-conditioned bus transport, an expert guide, and the listed samples and tastings. The Sunshine Coast Brewery Tour: Coastal Hop visits three local breweries and includes lunch and tasting paddles, with time to see how beer is made and meet the brewers. Other experiences broaden the focus to wine, gin, cider and spirits, giving visitors a way to explore several parts of the region’s drinks scene in one day.

The longer hinterland tours are built around scenery and a relaxed pace. Noosa Hinterland Drinks combines a vineyard, brewery and distillery with guided tastings, a local cheese platter and lunch. The Hinterland Cheese, Wine & Beer tour includes wine with coastal views, local cheese, a brewery lunch and tastings of locally made vodka, rum and gin. The website describes visits to boutique venues, charming hinterland towns and scenic countryside, with an emphasis on meeting local producers and learning about the region’s food and drink trails.

With flexible pick-up and drop-off points in Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Noosa and selected nearby areas, the tours suit visitors who would rather leave the driving to someone else. Private options are available for groups, special occasions, hens and bucks events, corporate outings or a more personalised day. Shared tours can also suit solo travellers and small groups, although participants must be 18 or over and provide valid identification. Gift cards are available, and the business has a 4.9 Google rating from 119 reviews.
