Sarina Sugar Shed Tours
Sarina Sugar Shed is a multi-award winning attraction that offers a genuine and authentic paddock-to-plate food tourism experience that explores the journey of sugar production, from sugarcane to finished distilled products and homemade condiments.
Through daily guided tours, Sarina Sugar Shed celebrates the achievements of the sugar cane pioneers who brought great prosperity to the region through their back-breaking work and mechanical ingenuity, and then, via their miniature mill, they demonstrate the process of taking the raw sugar cane plant and turning it into both crystallised sugar ready for refining and ethanol for alcohol production.
The journey ends with tastings of the many delicious uses of sugar, including rum, rum liqueurs and fruit liqueurs made onsite in the boutique distillery, plus their range of Sugar Shed chutneys, relishes and sauces, and non-alcoholic ginger beer.
With offerings in the café, such as light lunches, house-baked scones with strawberry jam, cheese and tasting platters using signature chutneys and relishes, and 8 flavours of ice cream made in-house, Sarina Sugar Shed is a true food tourism experience, satisfying the sweet tooth of all ages.
