A celebration of Queensland’s produce and wine

Scenic Rim, Queensland

In Queensland’s Scenic Rim, food begins long before it reaches the plate. This fertile region, shaped by ancient volcanic soils and a subtropical climate, has become one of Australia’s most exciting emerging food regions. Rich pastures, rolling farmland, and a community of passionate growers come together to produce ingredients that are fresh, vibrant, and deeply connected to place.

Here, the landscape does much of the work. Warm days, cool nights, and mineral-rich soils create ideal conditions for both produce and wine, allowing flavours to develop with depth and balance. From seasonal vegetables and locally raised meats to artisanal products crafted by small-scale producers, everything reflects the character of the region itself.

That same environment has also given rise to a quietly impressive wine scene. While Queensland may not be as widely known as some of Australia’s traditional wine regions, the Scenic Rim’s elevation and climate allow for the production of elegant, cool-climate varietals. The result is wines that are expressive, refined, and perfectly suited to the region’s style of dining.

This connection between land, food, and wine comes to life in a truly memorable way at Overflow Estate 1895. Set overlooking the vines and established in 1895, the estate offers a setting that feels both historic and distinctly local. Here, you’ll enjoy a celebratory long lunch paired with a guided wine tasting, where each glass showcases the unique terroir of the Scenic Rim.

Dishes are thoughtfully prepared using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients, allowing the flavours to remain honest and true. Paired with wines grown just metres away, the experience feels complete, where every element, from the landscape to the glass, is connected.

It’s more than just a meal. It’s a reflection of Queensland at its best, where the region’s produce, people, and place come together in a way that feels effortless, generous, and unforgettable.
