If we asked you to tell us what you know about Bundaberg, you’d undoubtedly say one thing: it’s where Bundaberg Rum comes from. And while this is most certainly true, and almost makes a visit to the coastal city worthwhile all on its own, that isn’t the only reason to make the drive north. Turns out, as well as being home to some spectacular beaches, Lady Elliot Island and the access point to a World Heritage-listed marine park, Bundaberg is a food and booze lovers haven, chock-a-block full of amazing places to eat, drink and then drink some more (this is rum country after, all).  

It’s time to hit the road and turn those virtual happy hours into a good ol’ distillery discovery tour and uncover the home of your most loved drinks on a Bundy Cellar Door Trail! While we might be the masters of world-class Rum and iconic ginger beer, our award-winning artisan distillers, brewers, and wine makers are quickly taking the world by storm.
