The Sunshine Coast is like a giant food bowl with farm-fresh produce, world class restaurants, a funky craft beer brewing scene, cooking classes and a geographically stunning wine region featuring boutique wineries and vineyards producing premium award winning wines.

Sunshine Coast Wineries

The Sunshine Coast grape growing region encompasses vineyards situated high up in the cooler climate of the Blackall Range, Kenilworth and Traveston areas through to the milder climates in the valleys near the coast.

With such a diversity of micro-climates this allows for a wide range of grape varieties to be grown within the region. These range from plantings of Shiraz, Chambourcin and Chardonnay through to Sauvignon Blanc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.

There are charming small boutique vineyards who hand-pick their grapes and hand prune their vines. The personalised attention in the vineyards allow for wines that are distinctive in character. Jump in your car and set off to see some of the best wineries in the region:

  • Little Morgue Winery at Yandina
  • Flame Hill Vineyard at Montville
  • Mason Wines at Montville
  • Maroochy Springs at Eumundi
  • Maleny Mountains Winery at Maleny
  • Noosa Valley Winery, Noosa
  • Kenilworth Bluff Winery, Kenilworth
  • Eumundi Winery & Brewery, Eumundi

With 8 cellar doors, the region offers a great diversity, from verandah dining overlooking vines, barrel tastings in the cellar doors, or enjoying a vineyard tour.
