On Thursday 4th December 2025, Tahbilk Estate marked a historic milestone, celebrating a century of continuous Purbrick family ownership with a commemorative plaque unveiling. The estate’s 97-year-old matriarch, Bonnie Purbrick, assisted by her family, unveiled the plaque at the cellar door, placing symbolic items representing the family’s past and future into the stonework: a 2015 “1927 Vines” Marsanne, a 2015 ESP Cabernet Sauvignon, and a copy of The Purbricks of Tahbilk 1925–2025.

The 2025 Victorian Wine Show brought the state’s top producers, judges, and industry figures to Tahbilk Estate Restaurant for a day of celebration, rigorous judging, and outstanding wine. Tahbilk was honoured to host the event on home soil and even more delighted to walk away with four major trophies, recognising standout wines across rosé and Mediterranean white varieties, along with the Colin J Richardson Memorial Trophy for Most Successful Exhibitor.

Step into the story of the Tahbilk Homestead Garden with a guided tour led by Head Gardener, Travis McCarty. Wander among heritage trees dating back to the 1860s, rare species, and flourishing native plantings, all shaped by generations of the Purbrick family. Afterwards, relax with a two-course lunch on the deck of the Estate Restaurant, complete with a glass of Tahbilk wine.

Celebrate the festive season at Tahbilk Estate Restaurant with a Christmas lunch designed for sharing, connection, and indulgence. Enjoy a three-course meal served as an alternate drop, tailored to your group’s preferences, and sip a glass of sparkling wine as you soak in the atmosphere of vineyards and wetlands.

Tahbilk Cellar Door’s newly expanded retail space is now open — revealing the full length of the original winery building and restoring it to its former character. Beneath it, the underground cellar continues to operate much as it has since the 1800s. This restoration not only honours Tahbilk’s past but also looks to the future, offering visitors more places to explore, linger, and connect.

Explore Tahbilk Estate beyond the vines, where share farmer Richard Stecher manages broadacre crops, rotates Angus cattle known as the “Frequent Flyers,” and works closely with the vineyard. From golden canola fields to fava beans and curated meat boxes from Arcadia Farms, visitors can see how farming, wildlife, and estate life come together across the property.

The 2025 Coueslant Sparkling Rosé is Tahbilk’s first-ever sparkling made from Estate-grown Mourvèdre – crisp, dry and bursting with bright berry notes. Crafted to celebrate life’s special moments, it’s the perfect drop for spring picnics, garden gatherings, or raising a glass at milestone occasions. Refreshing, elegant and full of character, it marks an exciting new chapter in Tahbilk’s sparkling story.

Tahbilk recently celebrated two of its long-standing team members: Alan George (“Georgy”), the Estate’s dedicated Winemaker, and Mary Nolan, Bottling and Despatch Manager. Georgie’s expertise and mentorship have guided countless vintages, while Mary’s precision and care ensure every bottle leaving the Estate reflects Tahbilk’s high standards. Their dedication, skill, and warmth embody the spirit of Tahbilk, making them pillars of the winery’s ongoing story.

Tahbilk’s historic Cellar Door is entering a new chapter with a refreshed retail space, now open to explore. Originally built as a working winery, later transformed into a Cellar Door in 1969, the building carries the legacy of figures like François De Coueslant, winemaker, manager, and the namesake of our Coueslant Sparkling range. This new space continues that story, offering visitors a place to discover wines, gifts, and the enduring spirit of Tahbilk.

Tahbilk’s 2025 white wine releases are here, showcasing both heritage and innovation. Winemaker Jo Nash, renowned for her passion for whites, and Cellar Door Manager Holly Cusworth tasted through the line-up, sharing insights into what makes each wine shine.

The Landmark Series is a celebration of the places that define Tahbilk. Beginning with our hand-dug Underground Cellars of the 1860s, this new collection brings heritage to life through limited-release wines, the 2022 Syrah and the 2023 Estate Syrah Mourvèdre.

Tahbilk Estate has taken another major step in its environmental journey with the planting of 1,500 native trees across the property. Led by Head Gardener Travis McCarty and the Garden Team, this initiative expands the Estate’s network of nature corridors, providing safe passage for wildlife and strengthening the landscape's biodiversity.

Take your wine knowledge to the next level with Tahbilk Estate’s Secret Art of Wine Blending workshop.

Tim Purbrick was a much-loved member of the Tahbilk family, known for his bow tie, big smile, and flair for storytelling. His commemorative plaque now rests in the underground cellars, where his stories and spirit still linger.

Beneath the quiet hum of Tahbilk’s historic winery lies a world of stillness, shadow, and time. Carved from the cool earth in the 1860s, the Tahbilk underground cellars are more than just a place to store wine—they cradle generations of patience and promise, quietly maturing in the dark until their time comes.

Saturday, 12 April marked a truly unforgettable evening at Tahbilk Estate, as Wine Club members came together to celebrate 100 years of Purbrick family ownership.
