Travel Tips from Cooee Tours
Good day from the Sunshine Coast!
When people think of the Sunshine Coast, they picture golden beaches and breezy cafes — but tucked just behind the coastline lies one of Queensland’s best-kept secrets: Sunshine Coast winery tours that lead to boutique vineyards with stunning views, rich flavours, and warm country charm.
Whether you’re a wine aficionado or just someone who appreciates a beautiful glass of Shiraz in the sunshine, a winery tour on the Sunshine Coast is a must-do experience. And with Cooee Tours, you’ll enjoy the region’s best wine spots without lifting a finger — except to raise your glass, of course.
Why You’ll Love Touring Sunshine Coast Wineries with Cooee Tours
From rolling hills to award-winning cellar doors, there’s so much more to the Sunshine Coast than surf. Our Sunshine Coast winery tours take you off the beaten track and into the heart of the hinterland where the vines thrive and the views go on forever. Here are 9 reasons why a Cooee Tours winery experience on the Sunshine Coast is your next best idea.
1. The Sunshine Coast is home to scenic, high-quality wineries.
You might not know it yet, but the Sunshine Coast is dotted with boutique wineries producing everything from sparkling whites to earthy reds and fortified wines. The hinterland’s cooler climate and fertile soil make it ideal for growing grapes — and even better for tasting them.
2. Wineries here come with unforgettable views.
Our favourite venues aren’t just about the wine — they’re about the setting. Think rolling vineyards, mountain backdrops, and rustic verandas where you can sip while soaking in the scenery. From Maleny to Montville, each stop is more photogenic than the last.
3. It’s an easy day trip from Brisbane or Noosa.
Whether you’re staying in Noosa, Mooloolaba, or even Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast wine region is just a short and scenic drive away. With Cooee Tours, you won’t need to worry about driving or directions — we’ll pick you up, drive you around, and get you back safe and happy.
4. You'll visit small-batch wineries with character.
Forget mass production — our tours feature artisan wineries, often run by local families who’ll greet you with a story and a smile. These smaller producers are passionate about quality and love sharing what makes their wines (and vines) unique.
5. Enjoy structured tastings and delicious pairings.
Our tours include generous tastings of several varietals, often paired with grazing boards, handmade chocolates, or seasonal produce. You’ll learn what you like and why you like it — all while treating your palate to a proper day out.
6. We take care of the planning, transport, and timing.
No maps, no parking, no split Ubers — just easy pick-up, smooth transitions, and a fully planned itinerary. You can sit back, relax, and focus on enjoying the wine, the view, and the company. It’s all handled by us.
7. Great for couples, friends, and special events.
Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary, planning a girls’ day out, or surprising someone with a birthday gift experience, a Sunshine Coast wine tour is a classy, feel-good way to make memories. Ask us about private bookings or custom add-ons.
8. The region offers more than wine.
Many wineries on the Sunshine Coast also produce mead, port, liqueurs, and even local gin. Some are part of larger estate properties where you can explore gardens, art galleries, or scenic lookouts between tastings — perfect for a more diverse, well-rounded experience.
9. You’ll be supporting local, regional businesses.
When you tour with Cooee, you’re not just sipping wine — you’re helping sustain family-run vineyards, regional tourism, and the local food and wine economy. Every bottle bought or cheese board enjoyed keeps these small businesses thriving.
