Established in 1860 and owned by the Purbrick family since 1925, Tahbilk is one of Australia‘s most beautiful & historic wineries and offers a unique opportunity to “step back in time” with the Cellar Yard & Cellar Door buildings not too unchanged from their original state.
The original Winery building (backing onto the Goulburn River) houses Tahbilk’s Cellar Door where you can also view a changing display of items of historical interest, as well as exploring the original 1860 & 1875 underground cellars.
In 2005, this experience was complemented with the opening of the Tahbilk Wetlands & Wildlife Reserve and Wetlands Café which also incorporates a Dalfarras Tasting Bar. Dalfarras is a collaboration between winemaker Alister Purbrick (C.E.O. and chief winemaker at Tahbilk) and his artist wife Rosa – Alister crafting each Dalfarras release with selected works from Rosa’s portfolio reproduced on the labels. Visitors can now enjoy both the historic Tahbilk experience along with the contemporary offerings of the Wetlands Café – gourmet café cuisine and Tahbilk & Dalfarras wines - before choosing to walk the pathways and boardwalks of the Reserve or cruise (weekends and public holidays only) on dedicated Wetlands boats - an opportunity that would be unparalleled within the Australian winery tourism experience.
