From the cool-climate Granite Belt to tropical Far North Queensland — expert-guided wine adventures across Australia's most surprising wine regions.
Queensland's wine story is one of remarkable contrast — cool mountain air, warm coastal sun, and tropical rainforest all producing wines that challenge everything you expect from Australian viticulture.
Queensland's premier wine region sits at 700–1,000 metres altitude in the Southern Downs near Stanthorpe. The cool climate, ancient granite soils and hard winters produce wines of surprising elegance — exceptional Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay and the region's signature Verdelho.
Queensland's second-largest wine region, northwest of Brisbane near Kingaroy. Rich red soils and a warm, reliable climate produce robust reds and crisp whites at family-owned wineries where the cellar door experience is warm, personal and unhurried. Excellent Verdelho and Chardonnay here.
One of the world's most unique wine-growing environments. Innovative Far North Queensland winemakers work with the tropical terroir to produce distinctive wines that pair magnificently with the region's exotic produce. Experience wine in a rainforest setting unlike anywhere else in Australia.

"The Granite Belt day tour was a revelation — I had no idea Queensland produced wines of this quality. The guide's knowledge was encyclopaedic and every winery was a gem. We bought far too much to carry home and I have zero regrets."
"We booked the weekend wine escape for our anniversary and it was absolutely perfect. Small group, stunning scenery, gorgeous cellar doors and a gourmet lunch that we still talk about. Cooee Tours got every single detail right."
"We did a private tour for my mum's 70th — 8 of us on a fully custom itinerary through the South Burnett. The winemakers came out to meet us personally at two of the wineries. An experience money can't usually buy. Unforgettable."
