Tahbilk Winery Tours and Experiences

Tahbilk

The story of Tahbilk is one of innovation, entrepreneurship, survival and extraordinary continuity; one rarely witnessed in Australia’s wine history.

Established in 1860, Tahbilk is not only Victoria’s and one of Australia’s oldest wineries but also boasts the world’s largest, and some of the oldest, plantings of Marsanne as well as some of the world’s oldest Shiraz vines.

The Estate is owned by the Purbrick family who has had 5 generations involved with the company’s operations since their purchase of the property in 1925.

Set amongst beautiful gardens, original buildings and underground cellars dating back to the 1860s with a cellar door overlooking the Goulburn River and Café overlooking the fully restored Wetlands area, Tahbilk is an aesthetic paradise.
