Tour Overview
We hope you’re thirsty, because today is all about good libations. Leaving the urban jungle of the Goldie or Brisbane behind, we’ll cruise up through the verdant green hills of the Gold Coast hinterland to Tamborine Mountain.
A rainforest-covered escarpment formed by a 23 million-year-old lava flow, Tamborine Mountain is the gateway to the Scenic Rim – one of Australia’s most underrated wine regions. And you’ll be enjoying a tasting at three of its finest wineries on this gourmet day trip, topped off with a two-course lunch at Mason Wines. A visit to Witches Falls Winery for a tasting and cheeseboard – often ranked among Queensland’s best – is included on every tour.
You’ll also get a chance to sample a selection of the artisanal gins produced by Cauldron Distillery. And if you’re a sucker for a great view, you’ll love the spectacular Scenic Rim lookout we stop at before heading back home.

Don’t just take it from us…
Drew & Alex had amazing communication from start to finish for our winery tour around Mt Tamborine. Alex was extremely knowledgable about ‘Tambo’ having lived in the area for a long time and really made the trip seamless and so much fun. The food and wine at each stop were divine. I couldn’t recommend Kiff & Culture enough! Cheers guys!!
What an amazing day on the Mt Tamborine winery tour! It was a girl's weekend away and this was definitely the highlight. Alex was an exceptional guide, very funny, knowledgeable and great to chat with. The amount of delicious food included was more than enough. I would highly recommend doing a tour with these guys... we are already planning our next trip!
We went on a tour through Mt Tambourine. The tour and our guide Alex exceeded our expectations tremendously! The whole day ran so smoothly and everyone we encountered were so welcoming and made sure our experience was second to none! We are a group of hairdressers and will be recommending this company to all of our clients for months to come.
Just cannot recommend these guys highly enough, so much fun and very professional! Drew was super helpful and friendly and went out of his way to organise a fantastic day. Then Alex took over being our cheerful, caring and knowledgeable guide for the day. A spectacular day wine tasting, food eating, belly laughing and of course fabulous singing at Tambo! Already have another trip lined up....
Best wine tour ever. Alex is "the man". Great vibe. Awesome knowledge of local area. These guys are the "best value" for touring Tambo and very connected to local establishments. Would highly recommend to anyone and look forward to the next trip. We were a group of four, picked up from our doorstep, taken on the best trip...and delivered back to our house where we stumbled out. Thanks Alex!
