What is Sustainable Tourism Certification?

The Sustainable Tourism Certification is a globally recognised program that ensures businesses meet strict standards for environmental, social, and cultural sustainability. At Tamborine Mountain Distillery, this certification means we’re actively minimising our impact on the environment, supporting our local community, and contributing to conservation efforts.

When you visit us, you’re not just enjoying premium spirits—you’re supporting a business that is independently audited and certified for its strong commitment to sustainability.

How We’re Leading the Way in Sustainability

Our certification is a testament to our ongoing efforts to protect the planet and our local community. Here’s how we’re doing it:

  • Renewable Energy: Our 40kW solar system powers our operations with clean, renewable energy, significantly reducing our carbon footprint.
  • Water Conservation: We rely on 120,000-litre rainwater tanks as a sustainable water source, minimising our dependence on external supplies.
  • Recycling for Conservation: Through the Containers for Change program, all proceeds from our recycling efforts are donated to Tamborine Mountain Landcare, supporting the restoration and conservation of our local environment.
  • Sustainable Practices: Every aspect of our production process is designed with sustainability in mind, ensuring we operate in harmony with our surroundings.

Our Commitment to Community

At Tamborine Mountain Distillery, we’re passionate about giving back to the local community:

  • Donations: We regularly donate products and funds to local schools, sports clubs, and community raffles.
  • Educational Engagement: We provide hands-on learning opportunities for school and university students, offering insights into sustainable distilling practices.
