Redlands' Boutique Wineries and Breweries: The Weekend Warriors Guide
Sirromet Winery
Just a quick drive from Brisbane, tucked away in Mount Cotton, Sirromet Winery offers a slice of vineyard paradise. It's the perfect spot to unwind, whether you're a wine aficionado or just looking to escape the city hustle. With its breathtaking views and lush surroundings, it feels a bit like you've stepped into a postcard.
Grab a glass of their vibrant Signature Shiraz and soak up the countryside vibes. This is the kind of place where you can kick back on their Tuscan Terrace with a plate of something deliciously Italian, or indulge in some modern Australian dishes at Restaurant Lurleen's while gazing out over Moreton Bay.
What’s Cool Here
The annual grape stomp is a hit if you’re into turning your weekend into a lively throwback to traditional winemaking. It's fun, it's messy, and it's a unique way to really get into the spirit of vineyard life.
Bacchus Brewing Co.
In the heart of Capalaba lies Bacchus Brewing Co., a craft beer lover's dream. Known for their wildly inventive brews, Bacchus is a place where beer is more than just a drink; it’s an experience.
Must-Try Brews
Dive into something different like the Peanut Brittle Gose or the White Chocolate and Raspberry Pilsner. They’re quirky, they’re tasty, and they definitely make your visit memorable.
Hangout Vibes
It’s all about good times here. Think food trucks, live music, and a super relaxed atmosphere where you can chat with friends and sip on something cool. The weekend pizza and ribs? Yes, please!
Straddie Brewing Co.
On the gorgeous North Stradbroke Island, Straddie Brewing Co. offers not just great beer but stunning ocean views to match. It’s a little adventure just getting there, and totally worth it for the fresh island air and the chill brewery atmosphere.
Beachside Beers
Try the Straddie Golden Ale while you’re here—it’s light, refreshing, and just the thing after a day at the beach.
Explore and Enjoy
Take the brewery tour to see where the magic happens, then end up at the Rooftop Bar for a sunset you won’t forget. If you're up for a little overnight adventure, check into their 'Beer n Bed' for a truly unique stay.
Craft Brew House
Over in Birkdale, the Craft Brew House is your laid-back local spot with a winning mix of craft beers and ciders, cool vibes, and live tunes. It’s a community hotspot that’s all about enjoying the simpler pleasures.
