Afterwards, relax with a two-course lunch on the deck of the Estate Restaurant, complete with a glass of Tahbilk wine.

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.

Take your wine knowledge to the next level with Tahbilk Estate’s Secret Art of Wine Blending workshop. This unique 90-minute experience is the perfect way to immerse yourself in the art and science of winemaking. You’ll get a detailed introduction to the two powerhouse varietals of Australian wine—Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz—and learn how oak plays a role in shaping their character.

The Tahbilk billabongs and surrounding woodlands are a thriving natural haven, home to over 62 species of native birds and a rich diversity of wildlife. From the towering canopy of River Red Gums to the leafy mid-layer of wattles and the bustling ground cover of grasses and fallen leaves, each layer of vegetation supports unique animals with specific habitat needs.
