You will learn about the history of each brewery and distillery, the ingredients used in the brewing and distilling process, and the unique flavours that make each drink special, all whilst keeping a keen eye and listening out for any smoking gun clues that may be divulged.

1st Stop - Beer Brewery

We start this covert mission by picking you up from your Gold Coast hotel at approx. 10:00am and head straight to our first stop. As we sneak over the border, we will visit the Pickled Pig Brewery in Tweed Heads and the Red Earth Craft Brewery near Cudgen. Here, you can taste some of the best craft beers in the region and learn about the brewing process. Keep your eye's peeled, there may be an extra brewery stop.

2nd Stop - Rum & Gin Distillery + Lunch

Next, we visit the Husk Rum Distillery in Tumbulgum where you can indulge in some of the finest rum and gin while enjoying some stunning views of the Caldera Coast. You can also learn about the distillation process and the history of rum-making in Australia. Husk is famous for it's Ink Gin world wide.

Lunch - Lets fill up those bellies and soak up the sop, at our lunch stop.

3rd Stop - Whiskey & Gin Distillery

Our final stop is the Cape Byron Distillery. You will walk through their rainforest while listening to their story how they started this enterprise. Hear about the history of the Big Scrub. See, smell and touch the different native rainforest botanicals that they use to make the award-winning spirits. Make sure you take notes!! Enjoy a tasting of the Cape Byron Single Malt along with other current whisky releases and find out about their famous Brookie's Gin, these guys go nuts for it here!

Here are a few suggested concoctions perfect for 'Special Tasting Agents' who have it all!

Pickled Pig Brewery’s “Double Agent” IPA with aged cheddar cheese: The bold flavours of the IPA complement the sharpness of the cheddar cheese.

Cape Byron Whiskey’s “Spy’s Demise” cocktail with brie cheese: The sweetness of the cocktail pairs well with the creamy texture of the brie cheese.

Husk Rum Distillery’s “Covert Operator” cocktail with gouda cheese: The smokiness of the gouda cheese complements the rich flavours of the rum cocktail.

The tour does not contain a lot of walking. Sometimes you may be required to walk up to 400 meters in a straight line- if you see blue flashing lights we recommend walking as straight as possible. We will drop you back to your hotel around 6pm, but sometimes we are having so much fun that we run an extra bonus half hour late therefore aim for a return to your hotel by 6.30pm.

If you would like us to arrange your dinner reservation that combines with this themed event, please ask us to add it on.
