Embark on this comfortable and stylish adventure as we pick you up from your preferred location in our COVID-safe, air-conditioned minibus. We’ll escort you through the breathtaking foothills of the magnificent Blackall Range to your first destination: the iconic Clouds Vineyard. Here, within its unique barrel-shaped Tasting Hall, you can sample a range of meticulously crafted wines and beers while taking in the picturesque surroundings.
After indulging in a refreshing sip (or two), it’s time to hop back into the minibus for a scenic journey to Maleny and your next stop: the wonderfully Germanic King Ludwig’s Restaurant & Bar. Settle in for an authentically award-winning German lunch paired with a selection of tantalizing Teutonic beers, all while enjoying stunning views of the Glasshouse Mountains.
Alternatively, if you prefer a different lunch experience, Brouhaha Brewery awaits, where their commitment to quality food and beer shines through. Their carefully curated range of beers beckons beer enthusiasts to embark on a journey into the world of craft brewing, all while allowing the bounty of Sunshine Coast produce to take center stage.
Following lunch, step back in time to the 1950s at Rick’s Garage, a vibrant retro diner boasting a specialized whisky bar and an abundance of laid-back charm. Once you’ve explored your inner rockabilly, we’ll transport you to your final destination.
The day culminates at an exceptional local Sunshine Coast Craft Beer brewery, where you can savor the taste of freshly brewed, locally sourced beer. After fully unwinding, we’ll safely return you to your chosen drop-off point. Rest assured, we’ll ensure you’re awake and aware when we arrive!

Clouds showcase a range of award-winning wines from Granite Ridge, Casley Mt Hutton and Kominos wineries, as well as a choice of exciting beers, such as the exclusive stout “Dark Cloud” brewed specially by their mates at Copperhead Brewery.
King Ludwig’s German Restaurant & Bar
After you’ve enjoyed the views, wines, and brews at Clouds, we hope that you’ve worked up an appetite because the next stop is a treat and a half! It’s off toward Maleny for lunch at King Ludwig’s German Restaurant & Bar, where the team will give you a warm welcome. Grab a verandah seat because the views across the Glass Mountains are spectacular!
You don’t find many authentic German restaurants in Australia, never mind the Sunshine Coast, so tuck into Bavarian specialties, washed down with your pick of German beers. The range is extensive so you might find it difficult to choose. Try DAB Dortmund or Altenmünster Marktoberdorf from the Helles range.
If you prefer a Pilsner, go for the Radeberger Dresden or Weltenburger Pils but there are also smoked beers, wheat ales, and Original Kölsch to sample. Don’t forget to check out the specials board for the current guest beer. By the way, it’s not all bratwurst – veggos and vegans have their own delicious menu. Lederhosen optional.
