South Burnett Wine Tour
A guided day around the Moffatdale and Murgon cellar doors, with a vineyard lunch and a local at the wheel — Queensland wine country, no designated driver required.
A Day in Queensland’s Quiet Wine Country
The South Burnett is one of Queensland’s two significant wine regions — and its most relaxed. The cellar doors around Moffatdale and Murgon still pour personally, without the crowds of the famous regions, and verdelho is the local calling card. Our South Burnett wine tour strings the best of them into one easy day, with a local driver-guide handling the wheel, the timings and the bookings so your whole group can taste.
It’s the classic Cooee South Burnett day: cellar doors, a long vineyard lunch, and the red-soil ridges rolling by between them — with the case-buying maths cheerfully in your favour. Want to learn the region first? See our wine region guide and cellar doors guide.

The South Burnett Cellar Doors
A tailored line-up from the region’s best — a sample below.
Clovely Estate
One of the region’s largest and best-known producers, at Moffatdale — and home to the South Burnett Distillers cellar door for a gin add-on.
Dusty Hill & Moffatdale Ridge
Family cellar doors on the Moffatdale ridge above Lake Barambah, pouring verdelho, shiraz and more — several offer food by reservation.
Kingsley Grove Estate
A Kingaroy cellar door known for its wood-fired pizza alongside the tastings — a favourite lunch stop.
Crane, Captain’s Paddock, Barambah, Stuart Range
Long-established Burnett names round out the choice, from Kingaroy to Murgon — we match the day to what you like to drink.
Cellar-door line-ups and opening days vary — we confirm your itinerary when you book, and can add South Burnett Distillers, a long lunch or a second day.

Wine Tour — Quick Answers
What does the South Burnett wine tour include?
A full day around the region’s cellar doors with a local driver-guide — typically three to four wineries around Moffatdale and Murgon, a vineyard lunch, and all the tasting-and-timing logistics handled. Pick-up from Brisbane (or the region). Enquire for dates and pricing.
Which wineries does the tour visit?
It varies with the day and the season, but the region’s cellar doors include Clovely Estate, Dusty Hill, Moffatdale Ridge and Nuova Scuola (all clustered near Moffatdale), plus Kingsley Grove, Crane Wines, Captain’s Paddock, Barambah, Stuart Range, Hillsdale and Taabinga Station. We tailor the line-up to your tastes.
Can we add the distillery?
Yes — South Burnett Distillers pours its grape-to-glass gin and vodka from a cellar door at Clovely Estate, Moffatdale (weekends). It’s an easy and popular add to a wine day. See also our food & wine tour.
How much does a South Burnett wine tour cost?
Pricing depends on group size, pick-up point and inclusions (lunch, tastings, private vs shared), so we quote per trip — enquire with your details and we’ll confirm. Private groups, couples and clubs all welcome.
Is there a designated driver?
That’s the whole point — your Cooee driver-guide handles the wheel and the cellar-door bookings so everyone in the group can taste freely. It solves the designated-driver problem that self-drive wine days can’t.
