What can I do at Cape Byron Distillery Cellar Door?

Cape Byron Distillery sits in the heart of our rainforest overlooking our working macadamia farm.

At Cape Byron we have a beautiful Cellar Door Bar space and covered outdoor verandah with table and barrel seating for small and large groups.

We have a full cocktail list and you can buy local produce at the cellar door to make up your own grazing plate or snacks.

You can choose your own experience at Cape Byron Distillery. For first time visitors we recommend our Rainforest Tour and tasting experience lasting about 1hr 15 mins.

If you’re short on time, you can enjoy our signature cocktails, gin or whisky flights at your table.
