Choosing a Tasting Experience

Brisbane's tasting trips split between a day at a winery in the Redlands hills and a guided crawl through the city's craft breweries and distilleries. The winery suits a long lunch and a slower pace, while a brewery tour moves the group from tap room to tap room in a private van.

Both work well for team days, Christmas parties and birthdays, and a brewery tour also suits hens and bucks groups.

What to compare when choosing:

Pace: a winery visit centres on a guided walk, a tasting and lunch on the estate, while a brewery tour covers several stops in one afternoon
Hands-on options: a wine blending class lets each guest mix and label a bottle of their own to keep
Transport: tours with a van take the parking question away, while a trip out to Mount Cotton needs a driver or a booked coach
Price: winery tours and tastings start from $35 per person, with lunch packages extra; brewery tour pricing is quoted for your group
Group size: private winery tours start at about ten guests, while brewery tours can take smaller groups

For the trip home, see Brisbane party buses or wider transport options. A cocktail class is another hands-on choice for a group.

The dry months from about May to September are pleasant for walking a vineyard, as summer afternoons can be hot and stormy
Book late-year Friday tours early, as work breakups take up a lot of spots in November and December
Make sure everyone eats properly before or during the tastings, especially on a multi-stop tour
Bring photo ID, as venues check ages before serving

Questions to ask the operator

How many venues or tastings does the tour include, and are all the tastings covered in the price
Where does the van collect the group, and can it drop people at different points afterwards
Is there a non-drinking option for designated drivers or anyone sitting the tasting out
Can the itinerary be tailored for a birthday, hens group or team day
