6 months agoWe didn't do the tour just browsed the shop. The lady that was working on Thursday morning was extremely lovely and very informative on the questions we asked her. She even gave us some suger cane juice too try which was very much appreciated, so thankyou

a month agoWe had the most enjoyable day at the Sarina sugar shed. We did the sugar and rum tour. We were well educated in the history of the early cane sugar production up to the current day processes and uses of the bi products of cane sugar. As it is an inter active tour the staff were brilliant and engaged well with everyone, with so much fun and laughter 😃 We thoroughly enjoyed tasting all the alcohol and liquor samples as well as the sauces and relishes. The tour finished with freshly spun fairy floss. We then stayed on to enjoy a beautiful cheese and fruit platter. 😋😍😀

a year agoWow 🤩 we did both sugar and rum tour, and it did not disappoint! Tour guides were full of information and was unbelievable what the process was for sugar cane. Don’t want to give too much away, but if your a local and haven’t done this yet or passing through I highly recommend. Glad we got a platter needed to soak up the taste testing. If your a relish fan, you must try their variety’s. Staff were lovely and very knowledgeable. A must see!!!

8 months agoVery informative tour with lots of tastings. Good cafe and shop. Easy parking next to the information centre and art gallery. It has a scaled down version of the machinery that is used in the full sized sugar mill directly behind it. The picture is of the actual working mill behind.

a week agoWhat a fabulous tourist attraction for Sarina.The tour was extremely well organised, informative and the guides Rebecca and Des really took the time to explain the process of not just making sugar but all the bi products of the cane. I had no idea that there is virtually no waste with sugar cane and what a versatile and eco friendly product it is. Highly recommend doing both the sugar and rum distillery tour as a package. Tastings available of not just liqueur and rum but also relishes and sauces made on premises. They also offer themed cocktail masterclasses monthly which we intend on definitely heading back for. Great work...you deserve all the best.
