Stops in order
The text version of the route: stops, time at each and the legs between them. Times are estimates, without queues, traffic or swims.
1. Warm-up: Curtis Falls (1.1 km)~45 min at the stop
The track drops from eucalypts into rainforest to the falls' basalt pool: the perfect warm-up before the tastings.
Tip: No swimming in the pool: it's protected platypus habitat.

5. Witches Falls: Queensland's most-awarded cellar door~1 h at the stop
The final tasting on the mountain's western slope: the wine flight and cheese boards as the sun drops over the valley.
Tip: The Main Western Road cellar door opens 10:00–17:00, until 19:00 on Fridays and Saturdays: come on those days for a sunset on the veranda, especially in summer when the sun sets late.

Before you go
- Route times are estimates: walking, driving and a sensible pause at each stop. Add queues, traffic and swims yourself.
- Prices, timetables and trail status change. Check the venue's official site and the state transport app before you go.
- On beaches, swim only between the red and yellow flags. Use sun protection even when it is cloudy.
