As far as food and beverage itineraries go, this one is packed with flavours and experiences that will make you savour every bite. And everything is so close to Boonah, that you’ll spend less time behind the wheel and more time with a knife and fork in hand. We start right in the heart of Boonah, fuelling up on the Hummingbirds Natural Pantry and Café’s beautiful plates of delicious vegan, vegetarian, paleo, dairy-free and gluten-free eats. Stock up on bulk wholefoods to nibble along the way. Just a few minutes down the road, it’s time to tie on your apron and let Chef Caz help sharpen your culinary skills. Choose a class from cuisines around the world or Aussie Bush Food or book your very own private cooking class with friends and family. The lesson ends in a full sit-down lunch or dinner with complimentary local beverages. After the feast it’s time for some sips. Next up we have two boutique wineries and a brewery, each with a story of passion behind it. Our first sip stop is Bunjurgen Estate Vineyard, a 60-acre property situated 10km 40 Drive Scenic Rim
south of the township of Boonah. The stunning property is home to 2,200 vines, proud families of kangaroos, a well-played 1929 vintage pianola and five-acres of lawns primed for picnics. Visit the Cellar Door and taste the vineyard’s legendary rosé and lighter shiraz styles, and hear stories of 4.30am starts to long days of hand-picking grapes. Vineyard owners believe in minimising berry trauma and reducing fermentation before crushing. Just a little further south your next sip stop is six hectares of vineyard and breathtaking lavender fields. Welcome to Kooroomba Vineyard and Lavender Farm. The Cellar Door offers boutique chardonnay, cabernet sauvignon and more, all complemented by the Kooroomba Kitchen’s seasonal menus.
