Thank you Nev and Cheryl for putting together a great itinerary show casing this beautiful part of SE Queensland. We thoroughly enjoyed the scenery, photo opportunities, morning tea and winery lunch. It was a relaxing change to have someone else do the driving in a very clean, comfortable Mercedes.

Pineapple Tours gave us a very memorable and enjoyable experience, picking us up from each person's accomodation and taking us to four different wineries where tastings and lunch were included in the cost, which we found to be great value for money. The lunch was very good indeed. We were very fortunate to have very nice fellow passengers and our guide (Chris) made sure all our needs were met. A must do!

Visit venues that capture the grandeur of our colonial past and enjoy their local wines. All while been chauffeur around in luxury Mercedes Benz Bus. First, one was home to three former Queensland Premiers. Expect history, elegance and a relaxing wine tasting. With glorious setting, sweeping drive, the colonnaded veranda and undulating hills covered with vines will provide an immaculate setting for what is sure to be an amazing experience. Second, Historic homestead ‘Killowen’ is Canungra Valley Vineyards with extensive grounds that stretch along the banks of the Canungra Creek and the Alpaca Farm located on the property, so you can feed and walk an Alpaca through lush Vineyard grounds. Here we enjoy our lunch basket with local wines. Third, George Gibson founded the Central Coast Winery Pty Ltd in the 1970s with assistance from his son Peter. Together they experimented with varieties of winemaking from using traditional grape to assorted fruits and vegetables and honey.

Inclusions: Lunch, Wine Tasting, Bottled water, Luxury Air - Con Mercedes Benz Bus

Thanks for a great day out where our expectations were exceeded. Our tour guide, James, was kind generous and extremely knowledgeable about the Mt Tamborine and the wineries. We were a business group coming together to have a fun day out. Would highly recommend this tour of boutique wineries.
