Value for Money - Very welcoming staff who couldn’t do enough to enhance my visit. Beautifully presented showroom and fabulous interactive gallery. The Smellogy was so real to the tastes of the drinks. Kaylah was our tasting hostess and knows her drinks well. Wonderful experience, good value for money considering you go away with a 6 pack. Luv the new flavors and look forward to seeing them in stubbies soon.

Drink up! - It was a nice, educational tour. You can walk through and see samples of machines that make the drinks and see model Bundaberg bottles being transported on the conveyor belt. There was an oversize Bundaberg Ginger Beer bottle that stacked thousands of small regular sized Ginger Beer bottles in a range of flavours, which I thought was very clever. The tasting was great and got to taste 12-13 flavours and they also allowed us to take home 6 Ginger Beer bottles to take home which are all paid for as part of the tour price. You can pick 6 of the same or 6 different flavours or any combination in between, which ever flavours appeal most to you.

Interesting bit of local history. - It was an interesting place to have a sample and collect a mixed 6 pack of drinks. The tasting was fun. The staff were pleasant.

Interesting if you are a Ginger Beer fan. - Tour and visit consisted of walking through several rooms with informational placards and simulations of the factory floor. Information was instructive and interesting. Visit then concluded with a group tasting of about a dozen of the ginger beer variations. Interesting tastes. We were then allowed to choose six ginger beers to take with us, although not the chilled ones. Worth doing if you are travelling through Bundaberg, but not really worth an extra effort.

Why do expensive ?? - Do your self a favour and just go the supermarket to buy these products. Or visit if you like but don’t waste your $20 adult and $7 kids on a tasting where you don’t even end up the one full drink! Most places would offer a free tasting to promote their products. Very disappointed for how expensive it was :(

Rude staff. Not worth the money. - Absolutely awful experience here doing the tasting. Found it hard to get a park so we were 3 minutes late, then had to wait to be served at the front counter. Was told they had already started. Got squeezed in between other groups and was then told by Daphne they had already done half the tastings and she couldn't go back. At the end, Daphne made no offer to try the drinks we'd missed, even though there was clearly enough left for us to try. When a man from another group asked to have a small taste of one he'd already tried, she said ok. Then gave us a tiny taste of one we'd missed. Did not offer to give us a taste of any others, then continued to pour them down the sink telling us she had to set up for the next tasting. After taking 10 minutes to choose our take away selections the next group had not arrived and we were left feeling very unsatisfied. Very rude staff. Expensive. Would not recommend. Totally forgot who the customer was.
