We start this covert mission by picking you up from your hotel between 900 and 9:30 am and head straight to our first stop.
First stop is a micro brewery. We will visit either the Pickled Pig Brewery in Tweed Heads or the Red Earth Craft Brewery near Cudgen. Here, you can taste some of the best craft beers in the region and learn about the brewing process.
Next, we visit the Husk Rum Distillery Tumbulgum where you can indulge in some of the finest rum and gin while enjoying some stunning views of the Caldera Coast. You can also learn about the distillation process and the history of rum-making in Australia. This is our morning tea stop.
Our final stop is the Cape Byron Distillery. You will walk through their rainforest while listening to their story how they started this enterprise. Hear about the history of the Big Scrub. See, smell and touch the different native rainforest botanicals that they use to make the award-winning spirits. Make sure you take notes!! Enjoy a tasting of the Cape Byron Single Malt along with other current whisky releases.
Here are a few suggested concoctions perfect for ‘Special Tasting Agents’ who have it all!
Pickled Pig Brewery’s “Double Agent” IPA with aged cheddar cheese: The bold flavors of the IPA complement the sharpness of the cheddar cheese.
Cape Byron Whiskey’s “Spy’s Demise” cocktail with brie cheese: The sweetness of the cocktail pairs well with the creamy texture of the brie cheese.
Husk Rum Distillery’s “Covert Operator” cocktail with gouda cheese: The smokiness of the gouda cheese complements the rich flavors of the rum cocktail.
The tour does not contain a lot of walking. Sometimes you may be required to walk up to 400 meters in a straight line.
We will drop you back to your hotel between 4 and 5pm, but sometimes we are having so much fun that we run an extra bonus half hour late therefore aim for a return to your hotel by 530pm.
