When we think of the Scenic Rim, hiking trails and glamping first come to mind. The region isn’t just rich in breathtaking countryside views, though. It’s also home to some of the most authentic farm-to-table foodie experiences near Brisbane. Scenic Rim Eat Local Month is held annually for the whole month of June, showcasing the best farmers, growers, producers, artisans, chefs and creators of the region.
The jam-packed 2024 program features more than 120 food events, located from Beaudesert to Beechmont, Kerry to Kalbar, and Mount Alford to Tamborine Mountain.
Whether it be a high tea in the fields of Beechmont Estate, crafting your own signature spirit or liqueur at Tamborine Mountain Distillery, or checking out the Fermented Food Festival at Summer Land Camels, there’s something for everyone.
If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make cheese, we recommend the sheep cheese workshop at Towri Sheep Cheeses.
There’s also plenty of farm-bound dining experiences to be had, including a long lunch at a winery winery – and fire-cooked meals to be had.
To round out the month is the Winter Harvest Festival, held in Kalbar over the weekend of June 28 to 30. Here, you’ll find an array of local produce stalls, and enjoy tastings of this season’s harvest, sample local wines, and more.
