EVENTS
FARM GATES & SHED DOORS
Saturday & Sunday October 4th & 5th
Join the growers, winemakers, chefs and producers in the Nagambie Lakes & greater Goulburn Valley region as for the third year running they throw open their "farm gates & shed doors" and invite you in for a look around!
Travel from door to door, gate to gate exploring the hills and valleys of this magnificent region. Meet first hand with the passionate people and characters benind the wines and produce of the Goulburn River & Ranges region.
Tahbilk's contribution to what promises to be a revealing weekend of activities in the area will be an "1860 Vines in the 1860 Cellars!" experience.
Open the gate and venture down into the 1860 Cellars to taste the last six vintages of '1860 Vines' Shiraz starting from 1997 through to a sneak preview tasting of the 2003 vintage due for release in October. (Yes you’re right, that is seven vintages but regretfully we have sold out of the 1998!)
