The Sweet Tick of Approval

The taste of sweet success is on the lips of Sarina Sugar Shed, taking home a gong at the 2023 Queensland Tourism Awards.

Acting Coordinator Adele Lewis said winning silver in Excellence in Food Tourism is a testament to the amazing experiences and products on offer in our region.

“We are thrilled to again be recognised as a premium food tourism experience in Queensland and we sincerely thank not only our amazing team, but everyone who has visited or purchased from us,” Ms Lewis said.

The award-winning facility has Christmas sorted, with hand-made masterpieces such as Asian Style Mango Chutney, Pineapple Sweet Chilli Jam and custom-made gift hampers with 100% locally made products.

And this is without even exploring the extensive alcoholic range of rums and liqueurs on offer, perfect for the adults come Christmas day.

There’s the newly released NOI Lychee Liqueur, NOI Orange & Ginger Liqueur, and even a new Coffee Liqueur.

Sarina Sugar Shed also hosts a range of award-winning tours and experiences.

Take a guided tour of the facility, through the miniature mill and outdoor area, before ending with tastings of liqueur, chutneys, sauces, ginger beer and freshly spun fairy floss.

For those wanting a more personal experience with the distiller, try your hand at the Rum Distillery Tour, a dedicated rum tasting session that covers the entire process.

Run by a team of hard-working staff and amazing volunteers, the award-winning facility showcases the special experiences on offer in our region. Find out more at sarinasugarshed.com.au.
