The cellar doors are filled with people passionate about enjoying Queensland wine in this glorious rural setting.

The Scenic Rim Wine Trail threads from one end of the area to the other, with five wineries along the trail.

Group tours are welcome, as are individual travellers looking for a get away from it all day trip.
