What you can expect

Enjoy a food and wine tour from Port Douglas and taste some of the best food and wine that the Atherton Tablelands has to offer. Be taken through various contrasting landscapes from lush rainforests to stunning ochre Savannah plains.
The rich volcanic soil allows farmers to grow many diverse crops from bananas, coffee, sugar cane, avocados, mangos, macadamia nuts, citrus, and more which you will learn about once you taste your way around the region's food bowl.'
Our first stop 1 is Rainforestation Nature Park amidst the Kuranda rainforest, a local family-owned business that gives us an exclusive opportunity for breakfast.
