Highlights
Outing Highlights
An end-to-end, working-farm experience
This is a rare chance to see every stage on the same property: how beans are grown in Australian conditions, how cherries are handled after harvest and how roasting and brewing happen on site—connecting each flavour to land and craft.
See processing and roasting in action
You move from paddock to processing area to roastery, observing handling, fermentation and the distinctions between washed, honey and natural processes, plus onsite roasting methods that aim to reveal rather than force flavour.
Taste what the farm produces
The tour finishes with a tasting that links flavour back to place and process; afterwards you’re welcome to linger on the farm and buy coffee and a small selection of merchandise directly from the producers.
