Culinary Outback Tours with Brett’s Kuranda in Atherton

Venture into the Atherton Tablelands with Brett’s Kuranda Tours, where food and landscape intertwine in one of Queensland’s richest agricultural regions. Situated just inland from Cairns, this volcanic plateau boasts fertile soils and a climate that supports an array of crops, making it an agricultural stronghold known locally as the tropical food bowl. Here, lush rainforests meet savannah plains, framing a day-long experience that combines gourmet tastings with striking natural beauty.

Brett’s Kuranda Tours’ Outback Tasting Adventures focus on locally crafted culinary delights, inviting travelers to step beyond the usual sightseeing itinerary. Your day begins with serene views at Lake Barrine, a crater lake formed over 10,000 years ago, where a calm morning tea introduces you to the area’s bounty. As the tour unfolds, the stops showcase a range of small-scale producers: at Winter & Mann in Yungaburra, you’ll savor handcrafted cheeses and preserves; the Australian Platypus Park offers a taste of smoked regional meats alongside rare wildlife sightings; and Gallo Dairyland lets you sample fresh, handcrafted Swiss-style cheeses created on a working dairy farm.

The journey extends to Mt. Uncle Distillery, North Queensland’s premier craft spirits producer, where native botanicals imbue award-winning gin, whiskey, and rum. The Humpy Nut World provides a hands-on sense of the crop diversity with tropical fruits and roasted nuts, rounding out a full spectrum of local flavors. The day concludes softly with artisanal ice cream at the Emerald Creek Ice Creamery, where local dairy and fruit ingredients shine in creamy creations.

This tour stands apart in the Cairns region for its seamless blend of food culture, nature, and immersive learning. With minimal walking and small group sizes capped at 20, it appeals to those seeking an effortless but enriching dive into regional produce, paired perfectly with the Atherton Tablelands’ distinct landscape and wildlife. Brett’s Kuranda Tours connects visitors to the pulse of Far North Queensland with authenticity and care, crafting memories that linger far beyond the last bite.
