Cellar Door Self Guided Tours
Take a journey back through time as you wander around the historic cellar door and then head downstairs to the old underground cellars which are classified by the National Trust and are still in use!

There is plenty of space to wander around both upstairs and downstairs if you are a large group however please let us know you're coming just in case the cellars are closed for winery work!
Self Guided Cellar Yard Walk
Tahbilk winery is the old 'Tabilk' township which means that walking around the Tahbilk cellar yards is like walking through an 1860's settlement! Sturdy footwear for walking around and be mindful that the dirt surfaces can be a challenge for the elderly and wheelchairs.
