Adventure &Taste Atherton Tablelands Food & Wine Tour from Cairns

This was a great tour all around the Atherton tablelands, lots of great food, fresh produce, and good drinks! Chris was amazing, super funny and entertaining and everyone had a great time listening to him talk about the history of the area as we drove around. Beautiful scenery and great stops all around while getting to support local businesses. 10/10 ♥️

This was a nice tour that included a lot of food and drink opportunities. Chris also taught us about the farming done in the area- lots of sugarcane, fruit, and other vegetables. Breakfast at Lake Barrine Teahouse was definitely the highlight of the day. It was a gorgeous setting with the best food (maybe the best I have eaten my entire trip) and a pretty latte. The other stops included a personal home where we sampled many local products, a trip to a store where we could buy them, a lunch of kangaroo, crocodile, and crayfish ("red claws"), a distillery tasting room (also gorgeous, on a farm property with llamas, peacocks, and goats), a fruit stand, and an ice cream shop. I didn't care for any of the wine or liquor I sampled, but am glad I had the opportunity to try flavors that are different from what is sold at home. Chris also helped us spot a platypus! He let us take our time and watch it for a while as it swam around and kept popping up in different parts of the lake. Itwas much smaller than I expected!

Fantastic day out with loads of different and interesting experiences. The guide Chris was very informative and caring.

A small 10 seater with 2 Aussies and 8 Americans, from 4 groups who did not know each other beforehand. This made for a great combination and a magic day. Driver/guide Chris B was a delight and a wealth of info. Breaky and lunch were incredible and all 7 stops for tastings and experiences make this a trip not to be missed. Even saw platypus. We gave it 10/10

Great entertainment and great places we visited on the day trip! Highly recommended!! Super friendly service. Recommend to any person, couple, family

Amazing opportunity to taste all the local food, wine and spirits by small local growers/sellers. A real treat and totally worthwhile day exploring. Chris was helpful and fun and I give this trip an A+.

A fantastic way to experience the Atherton region and get to taste a huge range of the local produce, go to places that you may otherwise miss and meet local who are passionate about their products.

I went yesterday on a food and wine tasting tour with the amazing Chris B and Andrea and what a fantastic experience it was! Right from the start I could see that Chris had an extensive knowledge and understanding of the region and its history which he shared so eloquently in his warm and friendly tone of voice, with a bit os Aussie humour thrown in of course!) On our journey he explained in great detail all the places we were to visit, and each and every place exceeded my expectations. Chris navigated the Gillies Range expertly, enabling me to feel safe on the winding roads and he and Andrea were so gracious in helping me to embark and disembark from the tour bus, as they could see that I needed help. Our food and wine stops were literally out of this world, exceeding all of my expectations. Chris and Andrea were both very gracious to shop owners allowing them explain the history of their businesses as well as the way in which we could use their products. This opened up a new world to me as I was taught how to use Davidson's plum jam on my roast chicken! The venues were obviously chosen by Chris meticulously so that we travelers could get the most out of each experience. I am not usually a wine drinker, and Chris was sensitive to this as he gently and kindly encouraged, but never pressured me to drink what was on offer. Chris and Andrea, with the help of the kind and caring Leone, created a 'family' feel to the tour, making sure that our overseas visitors from South Korea and the UK felt comfortable and fully included. All in all, it was an unforgettable experience, one I will always look back and reflect on. I strongly recommend this tour which has something for everyone, whether you are a local in Cairns, an interstate visitor or from another country. Thank you so much, Chris B and team for a fabulous day. Bev Brett

My family and I totally enjoyed this tour. The driver cum guide is Brigette, she is very knowledgable, helpful and also a very safe driver. The pace of this tour is relaxing and not rush at all, we have enough time at all the places she brought us to. The people at the Atherton Tablelands are very friendly, the food & wine tastings are yummy and full of local favour. We managed to do some shopping of local products, such as cheese, chocolates, wines, fruits, nuts & local souvenirs. The prices are surprisingly reasonable and may be cheaper when compared to some shops in Cairns city. I highly recommend this tour for visitors to Cairns.

Whilst some of the journey did overlap sites seen on other adventures, the food offered was different and tasted good. didn't need dinner after all the food we had on the day. Our guide was lovely and she did a fantastic job, welcoming, informative, and ensuring we all were enjoying the moment.
