Sunshine & Sons (CAVU Distilling)

Sunshine & Sons, operated by CAVU Distilling, is a testament to the vibrant lifestyle of the Sunshine Coast. Founded by best friends Matt, Adam, and Tim, the distillery is nestled in the hinterland near the Big Pineapple. They produce premium spirits, including their signature vodka and gin, filtered through 2,500-million-year-old volcanic rocks. Their story is rooted in leaving the corporate world behind to pursue a passion for craft spirits that embody the warmth and sunshine of the region. Visitors can enjoy tastings in a relaxed outdoor setting, learning about the artisanal processes and the local botanicals that define their unique flavor profiles. The distillery has quickly become a community hub, known for its hospitality and commitment to quality. Whether it is the Nil Desperandum rum or their award-winning gins, Sunshine & Sons offers a true taste of coastal Queensland, blending heritage techniques with a modern, laid-back Australian aesthetic.
