Noosa Hinterland Day Tour with Lunch, Wine and Tastings

This guided day tour heads inland from Noosa and the Sunshine Coast for a mix of scenic stops and local food and drink. It includes accommodation pickup, visits to hinterland lookouts, cheese tasting in Maleny, a wine flight and lakeside lunch at Clouds Vineyard, plus free time in Montville and a handmade chocolate sampler. At $275, it sits more in the treat-yourself category than the budget end, but it does bundle transport, lunch and several tastings into one easy day out.

You’ll be picked up from accommodation in Noosa, Noosaville or elsewhere on the Sunshine Coast, then driven into the subtropical hinterland. The day starts with a scenic lookout with views towards the Glass House Mountains. From there, you’ll head to Maleny for cheese tasting before stopping at The Barrel at Clouds Vineyard for a wine flight and lakeside lunch. Later, there’s time in Montville to browse the shops, followed by a stop at Chocolate Country for a luxury handmade sampler box. On the return trip, there’s another scenic lookout before drop-off back at your accommodation.
