News of '2025' 'May'

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. Members shared stories, laughed over familiar vintages, and raised a toast to the enduring legacy of a family and a place that have shaped Australian wine for a century.

Tahbilk Winery’s historic vineyards in Nagambie have been under the loving stewardship of the Purbrick family for a full century. The estate was purchased by Reginald Purbrick in 1925, rescuing it from decline and launching a family legacy. Today, Tahbilk is celebrated as Victoria’s oldest family-owned winery.
