Getting Here and Around

Driving yourself is an option but may not be the best idea if you plan to skip the spit bucket on your tasting stops. However, for the self-guiders out there, the Granite Belt and Scenic Rim tourism boards provide downloadable maps. Find Granite Belt winery and walking trails at www.granitebeltwinecountry.com.au, and Scenic Rim winery and trail maps at www.visitscenicrim.com.au.

Arguably, the safest way to sample the offerings of the region's wineries is via guided tour. More than half a dozen companies run tours of wineries in the Scenic Rim and Mt. Tamborine areas, but some require groups of at least six people.
