Cheese, Wine & Waterways is a relaxed Friday afternoon experience that pairs Tahbilk wines with gentle time on the water. Guests are welcomed with sparkling wine before boarding a guided wetlands cruise, where a curated flight of three to four Tahbilk wines is served alongside small cheese pairings. As the boat drifts through the wetlands, guests enjoy views across the waterways while learning a little about the wines and the estate, with time to settle in, sip and unwind. The experience concludes back at the dock with a small farewell gesture, encouraging guests to continue their visit at the Cellar Door or online.

Join us for a 45-minute family-friendly guided wetlands cruise at the Tahbilk Wetlands and Ecological Reserve. Kids become Junior Explorers, completing activities in their Explorer Passport while spotting birds, turtles, and other wildlife with binoculars provided. The cruise finishes with a Junior Wetlands Ranger certificate, badge sticker, and a Polaroid keepsake photo.

Enjoy two glasses of wine, nibbles, and a beginner-friendly watercolour session themed around wine, held on the Restaurant Deck overlooking the wetlands. $120pp | 10 places per session | Bookings essential.

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.

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.
