What is The Barrel Runner?

The Barrel Runner is the Sunshine Coast's only hop-on hop-off tour service, taking you to discover the region’s growing food and beverage trail.

 

Basically, you can jump on at any of our three venues, visiting some of the best breweries, distilleries, wineries and food producers in your chosen region. It’s up to you which venues you visit. Visit all three venues or just two, in any order you like, the choice is yours. 

​​

How much are tickets?

Your all day ticket to explore the Sunshine Coast's food and beverage trail is just $99 per person. Cheaper, safer and more reliable than rideshares or taxis and no need for a designated driver.

 

What’s included?

Pick up from your home or accommodation across the coast, transport between venues, driver/tour guide, reservation at each venue and a clean, safe, air conditioned vehicle.

 

Travel in safety and comfort with our local drivers, experts in the history and culture of our beautiful backyard and happy to share their insights, experience and recommendations with you. We also have eskys onboard and plenty of room for purchase you make throughout the day.

Venue tours, food, drinks and tastings.

​​

Can I travel between regions?

Unfortunately not. For example, if you are on the Caloundra route you can’t swap to the Noosa route. Our buses only travel along the scheduled route in their region, routes do not cross over.

 

Venue stops and pickups

We’ll drop you off and pick you up out the front of each venue (or the closest safe point).

 

Is there an age limit?

All participants must be 18 years or older. If you look under 25 years old, you may be asked for ID at venues, so it’s a good idea to have your ID with you all day.

 

Are there minimum and maximum numbers per bus?

We need a minimum of 4 people to run each route. This does not mean that you need a group of four. Minimum numbers can be made up of other passengers - singles, couples or groups. As long as we meet our minimum numbers the bus will run.

Maximum numbers are 11 people. If you have a large group and would like to arrange a private booking, just let us know and we can organise this for you. Please email info@tastytours.com.au
