Our Tasting Tours are guided walking tours that take you on a flavour-packed adventure through handpicked local venues in Toowoomba. Each tour follows a specific theme - cocktails, wine, or pubs/beer - and features a signature drink and perfectly paired bites at every stop. Led by a knowledgeable guide, these tours are designed to showcase the best of Toowoomba's drinking and dining scene while giving you a fresh perspective on the city's hidden gems. It's a fun way to discover local hotspots you might not have found on your own!
Each Tasting Tour visits three carefully selected local venues, with a short stroll between each stop.
Each Tasting Tour lasts 2½ hours, giving you plenty of time to savour the drinks and food pairings at each venue while enjoying the guided experience and short walks between locations.
Yes, you must be 18 or over to participate in the Tasting Tours.
Yes, you'll need to bring valid photo ID to verify your age. Venues may request to see your ID before serving alcohol, so please ensure you have it with you on the day of your tour.
Unfortunately, the Tasting Tours are not suitable for non-drinkers as the venues are unable to substitute the signature drinks with non-alcoholic alternatives. The tours are specifically designed around alcohol tastings (cocktails, wine, or beer), so participants need to be comfortable consuming alcohol to fully enjoy the experience.
You'll receive a full signature drink at each of the three venues, not just a small tasting. Each drink is specially selected to represent the best of what that venue offers and is perfectly paired with complementary bites.
Some tours can accommodate dietary reuirements; please check the listing for each tour. If you have serious food allergies or strict dietary restrictions, please consider whether this tour is suitable for you before booking.
For our cocktail and wine tours, it’s fun to dress sharp — think chic spring outfits, breezy blazers or dresses paired with stylish accessories. Our pub tours run on a Sunday morning, so a more relaxed smart‑casual look is ideal. Whichever tour you choose, comfortable, supportive shoes are essential, as you’ll be walking and on your feet throughout the experience.
Each stop serves up a signature sip paired with a perfectly matched small plate – think flavour-packed bites and cocktail delights as you wonder the heart of Toowoomba.
Should you wish to indulge a little further, each venue offers time to purchase can an additional drink at your leisure – perfect for those who savour a second sip.
Yes, we strongly recommend arranging safe transport home after your Tasting Tour. Options include designated drivers, rideshare services like Uber, taxis or public transport. We encourage all participants to be responsible and ensure they have a safe way to get home before the tour begins.
