Set sail this Melbourne Cup long weekend on a relaxing 45-minute Tahbilk Eco-Cruise through the Estate’s stunning Wetlands Reserve. With departures at 11am and 2pm, it’s a peaceful way to explore Tahbilk’s natural side — spotting birdlife, turtles, and native flora along the way.

Celebrate Melbourne Cup Day at Tahbilk Estate Restaurant, opening specially for this public holiday. Enjoy a long, relaxed lunch on the deck overlooking the wetlands, with a Spring–Summer menu crafted by our chefs to pair beautifully with Tahbilk wines. Raise a glass of bubbles, savour the season, and take home a bottle of Tahbilk Sparkling Rosé with every booking.

This October, experience the Spring Whites Tasting at Tahbilk Cellar Door. Sample the newly released 2025 whites, including Fiano, Albariño, Verdelho, Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Viognier, with the 2025 Marsanne as the Focus Wine of the Month. Enjoy the vineyard awakening with fresh spring shoots as you taste.

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.

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 Estate Restaurant invites you to make the most of your weekdays with a limited-time offer designed especially for Seniors. From Monday to Friday, show your Seniors Card and enjoy a complimentary dessert with any main meal purchased. Each sweet treat is crafted by our new Head Chef, Tracey Young, whose expertise in baking shines through in her spring-inspired creations.

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.
