Cellar-door tastings, award-winning Queensland wineries and a gourmet long lunch — door-to-door from Brisbane. Visit Sirromet, Mount Tamborine, the Scenic Rim and the Granite Belt on a small-group or private wine tour, finished with a glass of our own Cooee Wine.
South East Queensland has quietly become one of Australia's most rewarding wine destinations — and the best of it sits within easy reach of the Brisbane CBD. Our Brisbane wine tours take the driving, planning and designated-driver worry off your hands so you can simply taste, relax and enjoy the day.
In a single morning you can be at the cellar door of Sirromet — Queensland's most awarded winery — barely half an hour from the city. Push a little further and you're among the boutique vineyards and distilleries of Mount Tamborine, the rural cellar doors of the Scenic Rim and Canungra Valley, or the cool-climate heights of the Granite Belt around Stanthorpe, home to the famous "Strange Bird" alternative varieties.
Whether you want a relaxed half-day wine escape, a full-day premium wine tour with a gourmet long lunch, or a fully tailored private or corporate wine tour, there's a Cooee tour to suit. Small groups of up to 12, expert local guides, door-to-door pickup, and our own coach fleet make it effortless from the moment we collect you to the last glass of Cooee Wine.
A relaxed introduction to Queensland wine — door-to-door from Brisbane to two cellar doors for guided tastings of local reds, whites and sparkling, with snacks and water on board. Ideal for a leisurely afternoon, a first taste of the region, or pairing with other plans. Finishes with a glass of our own Cooee Wine.

Queensland's flagship and most awarded winery — around 35 minutes from the Brisbane CBD, set over 560 acres with views toward Moreton Bay. With 900+ national and international wine awards, an acclaimed cellar door and the Tuscan Terrace restaurant, Sirromet is the easiest taste of premium Queensland wine.
About an hour from Brisbane in the Gold Coast hinterland, Mount Tamborine packs boutique wineries, craft distilleries and Gallery Walk into one rainforest-clad mountain. Taste local reds, whites and unique varietals, sample handcrafted gin and liqueurs, and soak up sweeping hinterland views between cellar doors.
A scenic country drive south of Brisbane leads to the boutique vineyards of the Scenic Rim and Canungra Valley — relaxed family-run cellar doors, paddock-to-plate produce and the kind of unhurried long lunch the region is loved for. A favourite for groups who want space to breathe.
Queensland's premier cool-climate region, roughly three hours south-west of Brisbane, with vineyards 600–1500m above sea level. The Granite Belt around Stanthorpe is the home of the famous "Strange Bird" alternative varieties — Verdelho, Fiano, Tempranillo and more. Best enjoyed on our extended full-day or overnight tours.
Prefer to stay in town? We can include a Brisbane city urban winery experience — blend-your-own and barrel-room tastings in the heart of Fortitude Valley — on private itineraries.
Every Cooee wine tour finishes with something you won't get anywhere else — a tasting of Cooee Wine, our own house label. It's our way of rounding out the day and giving you a take-home memory of the region you've just explored.
Ask your guide about the story behind the label, the varieties in the range, and how to take a bottle (or a case) home with you. Cooee Wine is poured on every scheduled tour and can feature front-and-centre on private and corporate bookings — ideal for gifting, celebrations and client days.

— James & Priya, Paddington
"We did this as a hens day for twelve and it was perfect — comfy bus, great cellar doors, and someone else doing all the organising. Already planning the next one."

Depending on the tour you choose, we visit Sirromet at Mount Cotton (Queensland's most awarded winery, around 35 minutes from the Brisbane CBD with over 900 national and international wine awards), the boutique cellar doors and distilleries of Mount Tamborine in the Gold Coast hinterland, and the rural vineyards of the Scenic Rim and Canungra Valley.

Absolutely — private and group wine tours are one of our specialities. Because Cooee operates its own coach and minibus fleet (through Brisbane Hire Bus), we can carry anything from an intimate group of four in a luxury vehicle through to larger corporate teams, milestone celebrations and hens parties in 13- to 24-seat buses and coaches. Private itineraries are fully customisable — choose your regions, wineries, lunch venue and pickup points. See our private & corporate tours or contact us for a tailored quote.
We offer door-to-door pickup and drop-off from Brisbane CBD and most greater Brisbane suburbs. Pickup is usually between 8am and 9am depending on your location and the regions on your itinerary. Pickup from Ipswich, Redlands, Logan and the Gold Coast can also be arranged on private tours, sometimes with a small surcharge for outlying areas.
Guests must be 18 years or over to take part in wine tastings, in line with Queensland responsible service of alcohol requirements. Cellar doors serve under Responsible Service of Alcohol guidelines and our guides may decline further service where appropriate. For family-friendly outings that don't centre on wine tasting, ask us about our other Queensland day tours.
Wine tours run rain or shine — cellar doors, tasting rooms and lunch venues are all indoors, and a moody, misty hinterland day can be especially atmospheric. If a particular winery is unexpectedly closed, your guide will substitute a comparable cellar door so your tasting line-up stays full. Severe weather that affects safe travel qualifies for a free date transfer or full refund.
