Granddad Jack's Craft Distillery

The Gold Coast's first and only craft Gin, Vodka and Whiskey distillery located just two minutes walk from the North Burleigh beach. Recreating age-old family recipes in memory of our Great Granddad Jack, each of our spirits are handcrafted and made from locally or nationally sourced raw materials. We have humbly won multiple prestigious industry awards since opening and invite you to join us on a tour or visit to the Tasting Room to try for yourself. Production is on full show to visitors from the Tasting Room and tours are available over the weekend. We also host a very intimate distillery experience weekly where you can make your own bottle of gin and enjoy an evening with our Head Distiller. Our Tasting Room has a BYO food policy (order in or bring your own cheeseboard). We're both family & fur baby friendly and often have local live music on weekends.

So our day started with a tour of the Granddad Jack’s distillery, with a gin in our hand and Dave telling his story. We learnt about the family history and how every aspect of the business came together from the building of the premises to the name on each bottle. We were captivated from the start and felt like we’d been welcomed into the family. Being that the venue is BYO food, we decided to whip out a little cheese board and Nicky kindly sat us at the bar to be a part of the action. Zac and Jimmy had the bar under control and had some great banter to keep us entertained for the day. Luke popped his head up briefly out the back, but boy oh boy is his coffee liqueur worth a try!! The kiwi singer (Joe I think) knew how to read the room when it came to song choices. Alongside the usual Sunday vibes, he did some originals songs and then some acoustic versions of songs you wouldn’t really expect to hear. It was all round a lovely atmosphere. We have friends coming up to QLD from VIC later this year and will definitely be bringing them here! Thanks again to the awesome family that is Granddad Jack’s! Sam and Blondie xx

You will feel like a scientist when you check into school here. It was a great class where you get to make your own gin from a huge range of flavours. Make sure you leave enough time to have a drink in the bar after (and don’t drive yourself)

Bundaberg Rum Distillery

Under the careful and crafty eyes of our Distillers, Blenders and Bondsmen, millions of litres of Bundaberg Rum are aged to perfection here at the Bundaberg Rum Distillery. After protecting and ageing our rums since the 70s, the grand old guardian of the distillery Bondstore #7, has been given new life by being transformed into our immersive Bundaberg Rum Museum. Inside, you’ll walk through a series of 75,000 litre American White Oak Vats – the very same vats which have matured hundreds of thousands of litres of rum (after being emptied and rebuilt of course). Inside these vats live a sensory experience where you can see, touch and smell your way through our rich history in creating Australia’s Favourite Rum – Bundaberg Rum. Please ensure that you arrive at least 20-30 mins early for your tour, especially for the last tour of the day and during school holiday periods. Unfortunately Flammable devices; matches and lighters, as well as any item with a battery including; watches, cameras, and mobile phones, pose a fire hazard to the Distillery and cannot be taken on tour.

Awesome tour and well worth the price. Our party of three adults thoroughly enjoyed the guided tour by Bobbi - very knowledgeable, friendly and enjoyed her humour :) Definitely an asset to the team and added to the great Aussie vibe. Samples were great inspiration to encourage purchases via the giftshop. Very happy with our outing! Definitely advise utilising a taxi to thoroughly enjoy the samples!

1770 Distillery

1770 Distillery was established as a Boutique Distillery to utilise the locally grown fruits of the area and to provide a unique experience for both locals and tourists. It was John's dream to have a distillery and that is what led both John & Debra to the beautiful seaside Town of 1770 / Agnes Water in Queensland. The dream materialized after being bitten by the distilling bug whilst living in Tasmania. It was there that both John & Debra developed their distilling skill under the ever watchful eye of both Bill & Lyn Lark of the Lark Distillery.

A wonderful experience popping into this place. GPS had trouble to find but there is a sign at the gate entrance. The owner was a lovely man who took the time to explain how he makes his liqueurs and the stories he tells had us interested for a pleasant hour! Also a very well l stocked garden nursery which I had my eye on some basil to take on our trip! A very enjoyable experience and the taste testing led us to purchase two very different liqueurs to sip on while on our lap of Australia! Thanks 1770 Distillery!

Beenleigh Artisan Distillery

Beenleigh is Australia's original rum. Created before any other rum in the country. And over 130 years later, we're still making rum the traditional, "boutique" way. Still operating from our original stone building upon the banks of the Albert River at Eagleby. Still exclusively sourcing Australia's finest molasses from the country's only remaining family-owned sugar mill. And still pot stilling using our original copper equipment. We then age every drop of our golden liquid gracefully in handmade oak brandy barrels to create Beenleigh's distinctive, luscious flavour and its velvety smooth finish. Making it perfect for sipping neat or over ice. Like only a truly great rum can be. Visit Australia's oldest registered and continuously working distillery. Join us for a tour to learn about our history and the colourful people that have made the Beenleigh Artisan Distillery an iconic Queensland attraction. Understand how our master distillers craft quality award winning rums and sit back and enjoy the flavour, textures and aromas as part of the tasting experience.

Beenleigh Distillery is the oldest continuously licensed distillery in Australia and produces Australian style rum (a variation on English style rum). It was lots of fun taking the guided tour and learning about the distillery’s history, especially as the facility has flooded several times. The old wooden vats for aging the rum are fascinating. After the tour we had a tasting and I loved getting a quick introduction to the range. Their Double Cask rum is lovely and I would highly recommend their Inner Circle label to any rum aficionados looking for something a step up in ABV and complexity, while checking out their liqueur range for a super sweet super approachable drop anyone could enjoy!
