Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: U 1 4 Conara Rd Sunshine Coast Cider building, Kunda Park, Queensland 4556 Australia
Sunshine Coast Cider’s founder Martin is a fifth-generation cider maker originally from Switzerland, where his family made farmhouse cider in massive barrels underneath their house. Now he’s brought his expertise to the Sunshine Coast, and his specialty is méthode traditionnelle cider, better known as champagne-style cider. Martin and his team will welcome you with a glass of brut+ cider, and you’ll enjoy a tour of the Cidery, a demo of the making process and, of course, a tasting of Sunshine Coast Cider’s core range of cider and perry.
Mid-morning we’ll round you up and pop you back into the minibus for the 30-minute drive through pretty scenery up to Pomona, nestling at the foot of Mt Tinbeerwah in the Sunshine Coast hinterlands. Pomona is a community popular for its alternative lifestyle so it’s no wonder it’s a centre for artisan distilleries, organic produce, Slow Movement champions, and all that kind of loveliness.
Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
Stop At: Amrita Park Meadery, 417 Pomona Kin Kin Rd, Pinbarren QLD 4568, Australia
We’ll stop at the warm and welcoming Amrita Park Meadery, set in beautiful grounds abuzz with honeybees and ablaze with flowers. There are well over 50 species of native plants and it’s part of the Land For Wildlife Program. Founders Andy and Nicola make award-winning mead from locally sourced ingredients, using the methods passed down to Andy from his late grandad Poppo.
And, just a heads up, mead isn’t necessarily sweet – it can be fermented bone dry, too! You’ll discover how mead is made, and the fruits and spices that give each mead its character. And, of course, you’ll enjoy a tasting of Amrita’s most popular meads.
