Tamborine Mountain Distillery Restaurant

Set within one of Australia's most awarded craft distilleries, this restaurant brings together estate-produced spirits with a seasonal lunch menu in the scenic Tamborine Mountain hinterland. The distillery has been operating since 1993, crafting small-batch liqueurs, gins, vodkas, rums and other spirits on-site. Diners can enjoy their meal in the distillery complex, where the production process unfolds nearby and the extensive range of award-winning house spirits is available for tasting.

The restaurant offers lunch service complemented by guided tastings and cocktail classes that showcase the distillery's craft. Visitors can book experiences that combine food with hands-on exploration of the spirits being made on the property, from botanical gins to their signature Moulin Rooz absinthe range. The setting allows diners to taste the mountain quite literally, with estate spirits woven into both the beverage list and the dining experience.

Regulars rate the combination of quality food with the opportunity to sample and learn about spirits made metres away. The venue serves as both a dining destination and an educational stop, where visitors often appreciate the transparency of watching production alongside their meal and the chance to purchase bottles of what they've enjoyed during lunch.
