Event description
Sunshine Coast Biosphere Festival - On-Farm Experience at Canefields Distillery
Join us for a unique farm-to-glass journey at Canefields Distillery as part of the Sunshine Coast Biosphere Festival—a celebration of our region’s land, heritage, and artisanal flavours.
What to Expect
- Farm & Distillery Tour 
 The experience starts with a guided tour through the farm, where you’ll learn about the history of this 4th-generation family cane farm and the Sunshine Coast’s once booming sugar cane industry. From there, you will see first-hand how the cane is crushed, fermented, and distilled—all on the same farm.
- Fresh Sugarcane Juice Tasting 
 Taste cane juice pressed directly from the stalks—sweet, green, and vibrant. A true expression of the farm’s terroir.
- Spirit & Gin Tasting 
 Sample our newest batch of our unique Canefields Spirit and locally crafted gins made on site. Expect full flavours, character, and stories behind every sip.
- Community + Culture 
 Connect with like-minded visitors, support sustainable local farming, and experience the distinct culture of the Sunshine Coast Biosphere.
Why This is Special
- Holistic, Single-Estate Production 
 Canefields is Queensland’s first single-estate sugarcane distillery. Every step—from growing the cane, to distilling, bottling, and sharing—is done on site. This gives you a rare, intimate view of the full life-cycle of spirits.
- Reviving Local Heritage & Sustainability 
 The distillery is helping restore sugarcane’s legacy on the Sunshine Coast, using sustainable farming practices and heirloom cane varieties. Each bottle is not just a drink—it’s a story of land, legacy, and innovation.
- Hands-On, Sensory Experience 
 This isn’t just a tasting—it’s immersive. You’ll see, smell, taste, and touch every element of cane spirit production. From the soil to the sip, each moment is built to stimulate your senses.
