Your exclusive journey along the Sunshine Gin Trail commences at a comfortable hour in the morning, as our amiable and skilled driver warmly welcomes you onto our cozy, COVID-safe minibus. Secure your seatbelt, curate the ideal soundtrack for your day, and bask in the splendid drive to your inaugural destination by mid-morning: either Dacelo Distilling in Coolum or the engaging Sunshine & Sons.
We begin at Dacelo Distilling, a boutique craft distillery known for producing small-batch spirits inspired by native botanicals and coastal surroundings. During your guided gin talk and tasting, you’ll learn about their distillation process, flavour profiles, and the careful balance of ingredients that create their distinctive gins. Expect a relaxed yet informative experience that sets the tone for your gin-filled day.
After a leisurely hour of enjoying your first morning gins, it’s time to meander back to the bus. Embrace the serene surroundings and the awe-inspiring beauty of the area as we journey to our second distillery, Sunshine & Sons. Nestled within the hinterland rainforest, close to Queensland’s iconic Big Pineapple, this distillery is a hidden gem.
Conceived by a quartet of lifelong friends, the remarkable Sunshine & Sons Distillery harmoniously blends their affection for the Sunshine Coast with their deep-rooted expertise and adoration for finely crafted spirits. Their repertoire boasts an array of splendid vodkas and gins, as well as a Sunshine Coast cane spirit. You’ll receive a warm welcome for a tasting of their most exquisite gins, accompanied by amiable behind-the-scenes conversations about the intricacies of your chosen libations.

Enjoy a well-earned break with lunch at either Mister Jones & Me in Noosaville, where you’ll savour a relaxed 2-course meal featuring fresh, modern Australian flavours in a stylish riverside setting overlooking the Noosa River.
Or dine at Matso’s Brewery in Eumundi, known for its lively brewery atmosphere and casual hinterland charm, where you’ll enjoy a satisfying 1-course lunch in a vibrant craft venue.
Following a leisurely lunch and a rejuvenating stretch, it’s time to embark on the next leg of your journey. Step onto the bus and enjoy a brief journey to your final destination – the Noosa Heads Distillery.

(or Seabourne Distillery, depending on availability)
Your final gin experience takes place at Noosa Heads Distillery, home to handcrafted small-batch spirits made using traditional copper pot stills. Known for bold flavour profiles and premium botanicals, their gin tasting paddle allows you to compare and appreciate a curated selection of distinctive styles. It’s the perfect way to round out a day of craft spirit discovery.
