Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Fun day driving through the Atherton Tablelands, sampling local fruit, damper, wines, liquor, liquers, nuts, delicious lunch of croc, kangaroo, and more. Expert guide Chris and his co driver, Boson, (man's best friend) gave a unique and rewarding informational day out with local knowledge and stories across the day. Thank you Chris . Having done the reef and the rainforests earlier this week, this trip was a perfect end to bring it all together and sample the local inland fare.... highly recommended. Thx, Scott and Andrea, Sydney

Was a long but mainly enjoyable day as we traversed the Tablelands to taste the produce of the local area. Glen was our guide and driver and provided interesting commentary on the region.
We had plenty to eat and drink, with the highlight being lunch at the Platypus Park at Tarzali Lakes.
A notable stop was at Jacques Coffee plantation for a sample of coffee and liqueurs. We marvelled at the fascinating history of this family and their coffee plantation. Mt Uncle Distillery gave us a chance to sample locally made and potent tequila, gin and whiskey.
A long day in the bus and many kms travelled through nice Australian outback.
Perhaps needs to pare back so more time can be devoted to the more interesting stops.

This tour far exceeded our expectations. The opportunity to visit this area with such rich agricultural and historic significance is not to be missed. Dale was a knowledgeable and relaxed guide and we never once felt pressured to rush through the stops.
Each stop offered a tasting experience with wonderful local food, coffee, wine and spirits. We loved the chance to spot some happy little platypus and the final stop was such a relaxed and beautiful way to end our big day.
Thanks again.

A great trip around the Atherton Tablelands sampling local produce and cuisine, fabulous scenery. Always good to see different types of agriculture. And very exciting to spot platypuses in the wild. Our driver Dale was super-informative.

We had a fabulous day out with Chris as our guide. His knowledge and genuine interest in the area was evident. He introduced us to new foods and the producers.
Visiting so many places sounded daunting and we feared being in a food coma by the end of the day. This didn’t happen. The tastings were just right. Pancakes and ice cream, coffee, nuts and fruit. Off to spy a platypus or two, lunch of different game inc crocodile and kangaroo. More was to come with fruit wine tasting, than on to cheese, chocolate, gin and whisky. Can thoroughly recommend. Best part of the day was Chris, his commentary and such friendly nature.

We loved our food & wine tour. Dale our bus driver was a great host & knew lots about the areas & places we traveled through & visited. The group had about 16 people. The places we visited were varied, from pancakes, coffee, nuts & fresh fruit, platypus, to crocodile, kangaroo& yabbie for lunch with fruit wines. A great extravaganza for the taste buds!!Then on to cheeses & amazing chocolates, gin & whiskey. All of the business owners are locals & the products they supply are all fresh & local. We would highly recommend the tour.

I attended the tour last week.
Brett is truly amazing and pleasant, but I wasn’t sure why the winery we visited was selected. The winery was below the standard of any winery I have ever visited. I still had a good time, but this part of the trip should probably be improved.

Hi there, thank you for your comments in regards to the tour :)
The wineries in the tropics are only fruit wines as it is too hot for grapes so it is very different to the usual winery. The winery has changed ownership since we first started to visit and we are looking at other options.
I have a one year old traveling with me. Would I still be able to do the tour?

Ring Brett & ask
Keep in mind it’s a FULL day in a small bus - lots of travelling between stops.
The food & drink is geared to adults - tourism

We had a decent size group, maybe a full 12 but that was extreme circumstances with one grp being accidentally booked over each other HOWEVER you had plenty of room at each stop to spread apart from each other and take in what you want to take in!

We're coming to Port Douglas in September and would love to come on your tour. We'll have mum with us who's 89. She's got a few mobility issues with stairs. The mini bus looks suitable. How about the stops Brett?? Regards Wendy.

Hi Wendy,
thank you for your enquiry.
We have a small step we can bring with us to help get in the bus -which is not high anyway.
All the stops are easily accessible,no steps and walking is at an absolute minimum -she wouldn't even be the oldest we have had out on this tour!!
Let us know what day you would like to go and I can book it in for you,only need your accommodation details.
Cheers
Brett
