First up, head to Harvest in Newrybar where you will tuck into an incredible lunch showcasing produce harvested just metres from their table. There’ll be time to take a stroll around the town, purchase some homegrown sunflowers at the on-site florist, or perhaps grab an ice-cream, before you head to Stone and Wood to sample the famed Byron Bay brewery’s multi-award-winning beers.
Set in a lush rainforest, Cape Byron Distillery specialises in gin (with whisky on the way), while Lord Byron Distillery produces rum, vodka, gin and more. Both venues also have sustainability stories as epic as their boozy offerings.

Leaving the Gold Coast behind, you’ll be amazed by how quickly the urban jungle morphs into the rolling farmlands of the Tweed Valley in the northeastern corner of New South Wales. Their first stop will be at an organic family farm and cafe where they’ll take a walk around the picturesque property, visit a friendly pig, pick some sunflowers, and perhaps crack some delicious local macadamias, depending on the season.
Set on an avocado farm nearby is Earth Beer Company, a community-focused boutique brewery overlooking iconic Wollumbin (Mount Warning). They’ll take a tour of the rustic brewery and sample its tasty beers (with other options available for those who don’t enjoy beer) before heading to Husk Distillery just down the road.
On a tour of this innovative rum and gin distillery, you’ll learn all about Husk’s Australia-first method of making rum from local sugar cane before trying its spirits for yourself. Set on a sugar cane farm with cracking views of Wollumbin and a gourmet cellar door menu, Husk is the ultimate destination for a long, lazy lunch. So that’s exactly what they’re going to be doing here before they drop you back to the Gold Coast by 5.30 pm.

The Tweed Food & Culture tour gives you all that and more during one indulgent hinterland adventure.
Enhance your energy with a barista-made coffee before beginning a juicy tasting session. As one of the largest fruit plantations on earth, the farm grows over 500 varieties on its sprawling 200-acre plot. Munch on citrusy goodness while learning the growing process and savouring those sweeping hinterland views.
Your next stop is a vibrant Murwillimbah arts precinct. But before you peruse each artistic offering, you’ll treat your taste buds to some soft creamy goodness from Tweed’s top cheese supplier. Shall you nibble on camembert or brie?
Set in a stunning Art Deco edifice, the precinct is a cool creative haven housing around 28 local artisans, each with an intriguing working studio. Chat with the makers in-person to learn about the artisanal process.
All that art appreciation must have made you peckish. The trip concludes with a long lazy lunch at Tweed’s top distillery. You’ll chew through a gourmet feast—how does chargrilled octopus with herbed whipped feta and fried capers sound?—while sipping colourful cocktails and admiring gorgeous hinterland views. True booze connoisseurs will adore their award-winning gin and rum selection.

Once you all clambered aboard the kiff van, cruise through rolling hinterland hills towards an elevated coffee plantation. Learn how this all-Aussie producer grows and roasts ethical, sustainable beans for discerning domestic consumers. Savour one of Australia’s only authentic crop-to-cup coffee experiences.
With caffeine coursing through the veins head to a quaint hinterland hamlet for a casual village tour. Peruse a slew of chic boutiques stocking everything from antiques to homewares and vintage apparel.
All that shopping would’ve worked up an appetite. Handily, this picturesque hinterland village happens to host one of the Northern River’s best farm-to-table establishments. What this venue can’t grow on-site, it sources from top-quality local suppliers to guarantee utmost freshness. Devour a delicious deli-style lunch—think house-smoked pastrami sandwiches, leafy green salads, and decadent French-style pastries.
With a well-lined stomach, venture towards a renowned Byron gin distillery or brewery (depending on availability).
Nestled in a recently rejuvenated rainforest, the distillery infuses home-grown botanicals into its award-winning range. Meander the lush re-forested property (keep an eye out for koalas) as you hear their inspiring sustainability story. Naturally, indulge in a cheeky tasting session to sip the good stuff at the source.
