Head to TNQ for a weekend getaway and sample wines with a difference, such as a crisp lychee still or a sweet mango sparkling. Unlike the vineyards in the south, those in the north use tropical fruit to make unique, fresh tasting sensations - something a little different for your tastebuds!

A visit to the award-winning Peppers Beach Club & Spa at picturesque Palm Cove just got a whole lot tastier for guests with the announcement of a new chef and his delectable new menus.
