Next, it’s a delicious lunch, wine tasting and all-round gourmet experience at Brisbane’s only inner-city micro-winery, the brilliantly-run City Winery Brisbane.

Tour description

Your exciting day out starts early morning at your chosen pick-up point. Our experienced driver will welcome you aboard our comfy, COVID-safe minibus. Settle back to enjoy the drive south on the famous Bruce Highway. . . The friendly, experienced crew will welcome you with a nice cup of tea and a fun and informative commentary on your riverway adventure. From the decks, you’ll have uninterrupted views of the iconic river scenery and plenty of opportunities for photos and video. . The Brekky Creek is one of Australia’s oldest and most iconic hotels, and it even has its own ghost. Built way back in 1889, it’s had so many dining ‘firsts’ – first beer garden dining in the 1950s, first drive-through bottle shop in the 1960s, and first for Mexican dining in the Spanish Garden restaurant, again in the 1960s – something that Australians weren’t quite ready for. Today it boasts “beer off the wood’ and a reputation as Queensland’s best-loved pub. You’ll have a quick stop here to soak up the atmosphere  and work up an appetite because it’s time to head off for lunch.

And an out-of-this-world lunch it is! Lunch is at City Winery, Brisbane’s first inner-city winery since 1860. It’s a working micro-winery, sourcing grapes from selected growers across Australia and producing a range of artisan wines made on-site and with lots of love. You’ll be made very welcome at the City Winery, where you’ll enjoy a tasting of it’s most select artisan wines, together with a delicious lunch, hand-crafted by head chef Travis Crane and his team. . With a choice of 32 draught beers and some cheeky guest beers, choosing what to drink will be tough.

After you’ve totally chilled out, it’s time for you to be chauffeured back to your chosen drop-off point. You’ll probably be a bit full and snoozy, so we’ll wake you up when we get there!
