Stop 1: Tjapukai, Fruit and Indigenous tropical jams and Damper

Hi my name is Brett and I'd like to tell you about my new tasting adventure. I'll pick you up at your accommodation at a civilised 9am and head down 'The Great Barrier Reef Drive' to our first stop - Morning tea at Tjapukai (which means 'Rainforest') Aboriginal cultural park, for hot baked damper and a chance to sample indigenous tropical jams.

Stop 2: De Bruey’s Winery

We then head up the Kuranda Range to De Brueys Boutique Wines, sip deliciously different tropical fruit wines, liqueurs and Ports whilst overlooking the beautiful surrounds of  waterfall ,terraces and lake.

Stop 3: Mount Uncle Distillery

10 minutes down the road we arrive at Mount Uncle distillery, North Queensland's first and only distillery. Here we stop for lunch, a wander round this stunning property nestled in coffee and banana plantations, with beautiful gardens, friendly animals and a tasting of their award winning liqueurs and spirits at the distillery.

Stop 4: Coffee Works

Next stop is Coffee Works for a fascinating tour of 'Coffee World' which tells the epic story of coffee, with over 2000 exhibits. OR just sit back and relax on the verandah and sip and savour some of the very best locally grown coffees, teas, luscious liqueurs and dive into endless decadent chocolates created on site.

Stop 5 : Emeral Creek Ice Creamery

Next stop Emerald Creek Ice Creamery to sample 'World Class' home made ice cream and sorbet with delicious fudge and dried Mango and Dragon fruit to taste.

Stop 6 : Platypus Hut - Gallo Cheeses

And if that is not enough, we head across  the savannah 'Outback' ,past giant termite mounds and classic red dirt to a unique 160 acre Private Property.

Here you can soak up the stunning rainforest and pristine environment which is a sanctuary for bird and animal species. Watch out for a passing Kangaroo and head down to 'The Platypus Hut' where you can sit in this tranquil setting as the sun goes down and watch for dive bombing Kingfishers and the elusive Platypus (or dip your toes into the most beautiful mountain stream) whilst tasting Malanda's Gallo Dairyland cheeses and some Queensland wines and beer.

We then head down the Julatten range and I will drop you back to your accommodation at 5.30pm.
