Why Choose Beenleigh Artisan Distillery

Discover what makes Beenleigh Artisan Distillery a distinctive destination for spirit tastings, casual dining, milestone events, and midpoint gatherings.

  • Comprehensive Distillery Tours & Curated Tastings

    Explore Australia's distilling heritage with an informative plant walk followed by guided tastings of rum, gin, and specialty liqueurs.

    We booked the tour and tasting and were all thoroughly impressed. Our tour guide was new but gave us plenty of information on the history of the distillery and the current processes used and then set up a great tasting of 5 different products.

  • On-Site Dining Paired with Spirit Sampling

    Pair house spirit flights with casual lunch dishes like freshly baked pizzas, arancini, and burgers in an open, relaxed venue setting.

    We came to sample the rums and liqueurs, stayed for lunch, and finished with a purchase of rum crush and rum and coke. Great service, friendly staff, and a worthwhile visit if you want to do some rum tasting and get a meal.
