Watch sugar cane history come to life on a fun and informative tour at Sarina Sugar Shed!
Experience the rich heritage of sugar cane in the Mackay region with this unique paddock-to-plate-to-bottle food tourism experience at Sarina Sugar Shed.
A multiple award-winning destination, recognized as a prestigious Best of Queensland Experience, you'll embark on a one-hour guided tour behind the scenes of a miniature sugar mill and boutique distillery.
With an expert guide leading the way you'll learn about the history of sugar cane farming in the region and see modern methods in action. You'll also have a chance to taste freshly-crushed sugar cane juice and sample the award-winning rum and liqueur products made on-premises (age 18+ only), as well as delicious chutneys, sauces and relishes made with locally sourced produce.
You can even treat the kids with non-alcoholic ginger beer, freshly-spun fairy floss and homemade Mooscoop ice cream all available in the retail store. Plus, you can combine this experience with the Sarina Sugar Shed Rum Distillery Experience for a comprehensive look into the full rum distilling process.
