  • Lake Barrine teahouse, overlooking the crater lake
  • The towering, 1000 year old Twin Kauri Pine trees
  • Atherton Tablelands - Cairns Highlands
  • Small towns: Mareeba - Tolga - Atherton - Yungaburra

You will visit both the wet and dry tropics, the tablelands towns of Mareeba, Tolga and Yungaburra. Tasting excellent commercial produce, and meeting local people, are all part of this unique and personalised tour.

European cheese and chocolate makers, with a passion for fine food produce new and traditional cheeses, plus hand made chocolates. You can view the cheese factory and stroll over to the shed where the cows are being milked.  Enjoy a Devonshire tea, cheese tastings and if you're lucky a bit of chocolate.

deBrueys Boutique Wines produce tropical fruit wines, ports and liquers.  Exotic tropical fruits such as Mangos, lychees, passionfruit, jaboticaba and native fruits produce a wide selection of wines.  You will be invited to sample Bob and Elaine de Brueys range and you may purchase at the cellar door.  Take some back to your hotel to enjoy with cheese or have it packed and sent direct to your home.
